Ok, all is not yet great, but I am checking in the code in its current
state that is supposed to deal with icons in varying sizes, and gets
rid of the ICON_FORM stuff.

So the changes for XEmacs would probably be largest which is why I
have not tested them at all...

However, it is important that with all the renaming of icons going on,
I can check for oversights, and for that, I need to remove the old
icons, rendering the old code inoperative.  Then there are matters of
taste involved that need sorting out and feedback: there is now
fine-grained control for switching icon sizes and positions of the
various in-text icons, and it would be good if people with different
font sizes played around and checked just _what_ sizes look good and
at what point icons should be switched over to the next size for
nicety.  It is also possible to, say, decide to adapt the ascent value
of an icon instead of switching to the next smaller size.  All this is
a matter of taste and of "typical" fonts.

So give this a beating and experiment and report even though stuff may
not work completely yet.  And of course, if it doesn't, I want to hear
about it, too.

Another thing that I am queasy about is the icon size decision when a
desktop gets restored, namely when a desktop-restored preview gets
clicked open before a new run of preview-latex.  This might or might
not work, and this may differ between Emacs and XEmacs.
