Yes I see what you're saying. Looks like I have some work to do here.
First off, the print and print preview icons have become swapped, and
the Tango base Find icon looks a lot like the old print preview icon.

This is from the tango base. I'm not sure anyone would be confused. In
fact it's much harder to show an FD drive clearly.

Good question - it's a product of Tango base. It didn't seem like a big
deal to me. I can fix it if you feel that would be a good idea.

Yes I've been thinking about this. The alternative would be som
ething like this:
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/tango/tango-icon-theme/scalable/actions/document-open.svg?view=co

Though this is usually taken to mean "Open Document"

Rrrr - you're right. I will need to fix this.

This is the orientation from Gnome. If you object this can be changed
easily. Do it the way Windows does it, right?

It's a good idea - again this is inherited from the Tango base set. The
set seems ok to me.

Again inherited from the Tango base set.

Yes you're the third person to make that comment. I plan to redo it.

Yes seems ok to me.
