I still have a big visual bug with this icon in Kalzium. When I open it in 
Inkscape it looks much better. I guess we are hitting the limitations of the 
current Qt SVG renderer. Screenshot attached. There is a bug with where the 
text is placed; and there is also a bug in the brown fade-in background. Of 
course it's not your fault; but we need icons that render well in Kalzium 
even with the current SVG renderer that is not as good as Inkscape's one.

I guess all this would be easier if you had a KDE4 Kalzium to test with...

Wow, yes, it looks much better now. Perhaps you can sharpen the contrast: make 
the light gray almost white, and the dark gray a bit darker.

Looks great too; same remark, you can make the light rose almost white.

Well I'm no graphist so perhaps this is bad advice. I don't know, let's just 
try.

Cheers,
Benoit
