Allowing users to choose their own icons

Stepan, others ..
We need a bit of advice.

With all the new icons that sunstudio dbxgui got I decided to do some
housecleaning and remove all the old icons we've been keeping
since sunstudio10 from our resources directory.

Jean then pointed out that we used to collect them and present them in
a menu in the CreateNewDbxButton action. And now that menu has become
pretty small.

I pointed our that they were all rather useless and of the wrong
style and that I don't want to carry old junky icons around in
our jar file.
She pointed out that most of our users will be satisfied with something ..
anything. They don't want to create their own icons or go searching
through KDE or gnome icon repositories which have mountains of
interesting icons.

What to do?

Does NB have a built in icon editor yet we can point to?

On some linux systems (or is it KDE systems) there is a /usr/icons
directory and we could have the icon browser start from there but I
don't know how prevalent /usr/icons is on other systems.
There's certainly no such thing on solarises and I can't even find where 
all the gnome stuff is on solarises much less gnomes generic 
icon repository.

Does Java or NB have a collection of "generic" icons we could point to?

Ideally I wish there was a icon "composer" which wasn't pixel based
but allowed you to build icons from a bunch of primtivies and badges ...
