This is a great list. 

A bug was filed for Problem #2 [1] yesterday and Ben is looking into 
making modifications to address it.  I'm also working on the mail icons 
mentioned in Bug 213259. 

Additional polish I'd like to see for existing icons include:
1. reworking of the format-text-xxx group.  There have also been reports 
that they lack clarity in the evolution tool bar.  Suggestion: perhaps 
darken the blue.

2. resizing of the emblem icons.  Currently they are 48x48.  Looking at 
Bluecurve, the 48x48 Emblem set is actually comprised of 36x36 sized 
icons.  Opening one of these Bluecurve Emblem Icons, show that the image 
is even smaller in size...close to 30pixels.

What is the best approach for these modifications, in terms of listing 
issues and solutions?  Bugs should probably be filed in addition to 
discussion on this list.
