new icones

[Torsten Rahn (KDE)]

I just talked to Sander on IRC and the solution we came up is this:

We really would like to see better icons in KOffice 1.6 as they are important 
in terms of user acceptance.

I'd suggest the following: 

- We need a full set of toolbar icons. Right now I think we don't have more 
than a screenshot of the icons. Send them to Sander or to me and we'll do our 
best.

- We need them no later than Monday

- To make sure that people who update don't get confused it's important that 
the new icons use the same metaphors as the old ones. If this is the case also 
having screenshots in the docs which still show the old icons wouldn't 
irritate users ( especially given that most icons show abstract stuff like 
lines, etc. )

Updating the EN and NL docs isn't much of an issue as Sander does that 
himself, however we've got to talk to the translators of the other languages 
involved about how hard it would be for them to update. If that doesn't turn 
out to be a problem it shouldn't be too hard to convince Cyrille that we need 
those icons updated ;-)
