Thanks for your contribution! If you'll look at the Abi 2.5 source, I
already have made and committed a tango-ized style icon. I am curious,
however, how we might modify the source to "properly" install the
multiple icon sizes requested by Tango/icon-theme-naming: right now all
we have is a 48px square png that goes into pixmaps - this is probably
the real source of fuzziness: resizing. (I also have the SVG's of the
icon, which is also being used on Windows. You can search for
abiword_48.png in our source tree to find what it looks like.)
