that's a pretty good idea. We defintely could need some help to unify the look
and feel of the applications.

Yes that's true, basically there are two types of icons we should distinguish:
- Application icons which should be 48x48 to scale up to high resolution
displays like on zaurus and Nokia 770.
- Stock and theme icons - i guess 32x32 would be a sufficient size for them so
that fits all needs.

If its big send it to Nils or me, if its small send it to the mailinglist.

That's nice, i want to take a look! :-)
Some lines of text about it might be good but its defintely not a must.
