You caught me! I have no idea what the icon theme spec is... :-(

I'm using a single icon size and using gtk routines to do the resizing
from the iconfactory, using the preset icons sizes in gtk:
	case REAL_BIG:
	    gtksize = GTK_ICON_SIZE_DIALOG;
	    break;
	case BIG:
	    gtksize = GTK_ICON_SIZE_DND;
	    break;
	case MEDIUM:
	default:
	    gtksize = GTK_ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR;
	    break;
	case SMALL:
	    gtksize = GTK_ICON_SIZE_BUTTON;

Image preview, OTH, is arbitrarily set:
    switch (size)
    {
	default:
	    w = 48, h = 24;
	    break;
	case MEDIUM:
	    w = 68, h = 34;
	    break;
	case BIG:
	    w = 100, h = 50;
	    break;
	case REAL_BIG:
	    w = 200, h = 100;
	    break;
    }

Me neither. But Biju's idea sounds good.
