Doesn't matter.  Okular displays images (PNG, TIF JPG, etc) as well and 
the same icons are going to be used for all types of files.

Actually, the magnifier icons are a usability issue.  They need to be 
clearly visible at +/- 2/10s of an inch screen size.  Most importantly, 
they need to be visible enough to tell which is which.  This is not the 
case with the current:

	zoom-fit-best
	zoom-in
	zoom-original
	zoom-out

This needs further work.

Actually not since we should decide on the icon names *now* since it 
will be more difficult to change latter.

Don't take arguments personally.  Arguing, perhaps debating is a better 
word, is how things get decided -- it is how engineers make decisions.
