oh, i wasn't aware of that. iirc, the gtk stock system supports having
the same icon in different sizes and it will use the one closest to the
requested size to resize it for the user.

ok, sorry, you're right. i didn't realize that before, either.

i noticed that, too. you can work around it by saving the images as
"plain svg" in sodipodi, but then the properties of sodipodi's own
"special objects" (like the spiral and stuff like that) aren't editable
anymore if you load them again.

ok, i understand. that's why i'd like to supply different versions. a

heh, sorry to sound silly, but i though SVG is the technology to work
around this problem?
