I´ve been thinking of doing doing a high-contrast set for graphics apps, 
that probably could look nice on tiny screens.
It´s a bit further down on my personal todo-list though.
As I´ve understood, noone has ever suggested removing gimps option to 
choose icon sets and having the default set looking the same as the 
other tools in the free software artists toolbox (like inkscape and 
scribus) can´t really be a bad thing, right?
