I think it is better to use the proposed .icon and write icns converter.
Since most (if not all) graphic editors existing on GNU/Linux
wouldn't know how to edit an .icns. While .icon is just a directory
bundle, anyone can open the file directly (eg. with gimp).

.icns is not really a fun format to edit. The bigger icon sizes are stored in separate planes and run-length-encoded in a rather odd way... A bundle-based format made of standard image formats would be easier.

Not to mention that directly supporting .icns would simply encourage application developers to take their OS X icons and use them on GNUstep, without creating a version that suits GNUstep's style (whatever it will eventually be).
