Well, the icons were acutally made on the fly. I made a screenshot but
painted them myself. A pixel-to-pixel comparison makes that clear ;-)

But if anyone has better ones, please take the time and send
suggestions.

I talked with Torsten Rahn (artist team) about that issue on the
Linuxtag exhibition about that and we came to the point to make further
icons completely ourselves.
