They could be scaled, of course.  Making them as large as possible gives
them a longer life.  If I rework all the icons at 48x48, then in a couple
years (less?) they will not be considered "state-of-the-art".  Of course, I
could make all the icons very, very large, let's say 512x512, and then write
a script to scale them to 48x48 when released.  Or better yet draw them as
vectors.

I'll do a couple for GWorkspace and see what everyone thinks.
