> 1. some icons are not square-sized (e.g. cut, paste, copy)
> 2. some icons are not displayed correctly (e.g. cut - the scissors)
> 3. some icons are not displayed at all (e.g. folder-remote)
> 4. most svg icons look slightly different from their png counterparts (IMO,
> mostly because inkscape lacked blur feature in the past)
> 5. gnome seems to prefer svgs over pngs even in big sizes (e.g. in nautilus).
> Does it display them in bigger size than 48x48?
