May I ask you what size for Toolbars and icons on Desktop do you have/like?

Also: Can  someone with karma give me a hint how to make Kicker using iocns 
bigger than 48x48?
I did several apps icons at 64x64 and 96x96 sizes, but they do not appear as 
an option for Kicker.
Is it known bug or ... ?

(Note: I don't speak about Crystal here, I am testing my icon set)

Kicker:
-------------
Tiny 
Small
Normal 
Large  

(Large is 48x49 here, and selecting custom size for Kicker doesn't increase 
icons)

Konqueror 
-------------
Small (16x16)
Normal (22x22)
Large (32x32)
Large (48x48)

BTW:  does someone think that it makes sense to have toolbar with 64x64 icons?
How people with 1900x1400 displays feel about such icons?
