Easy to implement. yes. There is even support for that in Qt (QIconSet, but it
didn't work quite nice last time I tried, which was about Qt-1.40, I think)

I wouldn't say it is waste of resources. But, I'd like tohave features like
this to be covered in our style guide. That is all apps should - if user
selects so - have rollover icons in their toolbars or none.

I wouldn't like to see that only one or few apps look differently then other
ones (Like KSirc, which has timer in munebar).
This means that we need two sets of icons - at least pair normal/highlighted
for each button (disabled  pixmap can be generated).
