well, every "theme" may have different special icons and different 
styles on how these should be overlaid, thus at the end these icons need 
to be custom designed.
E.g. in the Tango theme, we have a stylized house overlaid on the 
folder, the standard theme we have a more fancy house put over the icon 
in the bottom left corner.
We represent libraries with "books" becuase that looks the NeXT style, 
Tango should I believe use a gear to represent system stuff and that is 
what I asked Gael to draw.
Thus... the concept holds, but it needs to be manually adapted, I see ti 
unfeasible to provide it system-wide with auto-composition.
