I did think about the bloat. Here's how I came up with the number of images to 
add. I have about 50 users in my lab network. People at several (IEEE) 
conferences (in the last 6 months) have led me to believe that this is a 
typical number of users for a small installation in a university setting, and 
I believe that this would be typical usage.

I would be happy if they would comment as well. If I am interpreting Ossi 
right from this email:
  http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-cvs&m=107101754830239&w=2
he suggests that I should copy the icons he mentioned. (Note to Ossi: I did 
not include those icons from kde-look as theyare not generic enough, they 
might be useful as part of a theme though.)

I would be fine with moving them to kdeartwork if there are more votes for 
doing so. By the way, I neither drew nor photographed any of those icons - 
all credit for them should go to other people.

Regards,
Ravi
