I looked into it...and
Windows icons are 16, 32, and 48 pixels
Mac icons are 16, 32, 48, and 128 pixels
Tango icons are 16, 22, and 48 pixels

You can see a Windows/Mac comparison at

Bluecurve has icon sizes of 16, 24,32,36,48, 64, and 96 pixels. Commonly 
used sizes being 16, 24 and 48...with applications asking for:
menu icons (16x16) -- icon_sizes[GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU].name = "gtk-menu";
button icons (20x20) -- icon_sizes[GTK_ICON_SIZE_BUTTON].name = 
"gtk-button";
toolbar icons (18x18) -- icon_sizes[GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR].name = 
"gtk-small-toolbar";
                   (24x24) -- 
icon_sizes[GTK_ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR].name = "gtk-large-toolbar";
dnd icons (32x32) -- icon_sizes[GTK_ICON_SIZE_DND].name = "gtk-dnd";
dialogue icons (48x48) -- icon_sizes[GTK_ICON_SIZE_DIALOG].name = 
"gtk-dialog";

So I was thinking of covering the common sizes (16, 24, 48) and if 
possible the ones that are being used in the list above.
