If anybody is interested in taking up Marc's offer, Anthony's X
Icon Library might be a good starting point. The address is:

Here are some extracts from the README file:
____________________________________________


                  Anthony's X Icon Library (version 1.3)
                ------------------------------------------
                       EMail: anthony@cit.gu.edu.au

  This collection was developed from the need for a collection of small
bitmaps for both programming and X application icons. The library is
freely copyable and can be used for any purpose you may desire.  I would
appreciate any new icons you may like to add to this collection and thay
can be e-mail'ed to the above address.

The sub-directorys are :-

   std         Icons (xbm) that are all 64x54 in size. This is to allow
               X window screen displays to have all its application icons
               the same size. Some of these icons represent particular
               machines on the Giffith University network.  These icons
               are placed in the directory "/usr/include/X11/bitmaps/std"
               at this site. See also "README.xrdb" and README.twmrc.

   bw-32       Black & White icons that are all 32x32 in size.
   bw-48       Black & White icons that are all 48x48 in size.
   bw-64       Black & White icons that are all 64x64 in size.
   bw-misc     Black & White icons of miscellanous size.
   bw-bgnd     Large(ish) background tile patterns (IE: escher fish tile).
   bw-pats     Small scale texture patterns (IE: GreyScale or root_weave).

   cl-32       Color icons which are 32x32 pixels in size. (a large collection)
   cl-48       Color icons which are 48x48 pixels in size. (only 2 icons)
   cl-64       Color icons which are 64x64 pixels in size. (no icons - yet)
   cl-misc     Color icons of miscellanous sizes.
   cl-bgnd     Color background tiles. (NOTE: these are in gif format)

   gr-misc     Miscellanous sized grey-scale icons. (only 2 at this time)

   button      Small symbols or pictures used for buttons and markers.
                 Usually 16x16 but not always.

   cursor      Small cursors and associated masks  (ie: watch & gumby )

   twm         Small set of icons for use as part of the TWM window manager
               title bar display. The number in the icon name refers to
               the 75dpi font point size that is used within the title
               bar. (Box size - 1) (See "README.twm" file)

   prog        A collection of icons that would probably only be used in
               specific programs. This includes icons for landscapes,
               `planview' type adventure games (EG: Ultima, Nethack),
               Drawing programs, and assorted miscellanous controls.
               This is a `catch-all' directory of icons with specific
               purposes. See the README.prog file in this archieve.

   mail        Icons for showing the status of mail (xbiff & xmail progs)
                  *_new.xbm   for new mail just arrived
                  *_none.xbm  for no mail in mail box (or no new mail)
                  *_old.xbm   for only old mail in mail box (hardly used)
                  *_mask.xbm  for mask shaped windows (ie: xbiff)

   docs        Icons for file managers and browsers (eg: like `xdtm' )
   flags       A collection of country flags from around the globe
   movies      Icons that form an animation sequence of some sort

   bits        Bits & Pieaces which are not relly complete icons in
                 themselves but can be used to create new icons to decorate
                 applications. (IE: flowers, animals, balls, pipes)
