This bothered me as well (the ArtProvider icons are unfortunately  
ugly on mac/msw anyway) so I bundled some icons from the Tango theme  
in the new version. Still need to do something about being able to  
generate nicer bitmaps for the disabled state however (if possible)  
as the edges come out quite rough even though shouldn't be.
