For now, I went for player_end.png (icons/[...]/actions) for "Run current 
line". It does not visualize what exactly to expect any better than run.png, 
but it has a common theme with the other run actions. Or do you think, it's 
too confusingly similar? Anyway, in the long run, we probably want custom 
items for the run actions. Any pixel artists on this list?

For "Flush Output" I now went with editdelete.png instead of editclear.png. It 
looks more dangerous, and is probably easier to recognize. I didn't go for 
kleansweep.png, since I think it is not good enough in this context to 
justify including another image file in the release (kleansweep.png can not 
be assumed to be installed on all systems, whereas, I think, editdelete.png 
can).

Well, I'm not a big user of toolbar icons, that's why it never really occured 
to me to add it there, before. Now that I thought about it, I reviewed some 
of the other parts, and added a bunch of already existing actions to the 
menubar, toolbar, or both. Since these changes do not change any translatable 
strings, and really just mean simple modifications to the ui.rc files, I 
think I'll include them in 0.4.5 despite the freeze, considering this as a 
sort of bug-fixes.

Ok, I'll wait for another short while for objections, then remove it. Doing it 
for 0.4.5 probably is a good idea, again, as we will have to put out a note 
about several menu-changes anyway.

In the TODO list, of course, that's where you'll find mostly everything ;-)
