Thanks! Happens if you have some time on the plane from Sharkfest back 
home ;-)

It's still a bit "pixel like", the reason seems that xpm doesn't support 
alpha channels. Maybe I can motivate myself to implement using png 
instead of xpm, as the png looks better.

Unsure, I've resized it to 14*14 pixels, maybe that looks ok now?

On Win32 it looks good, could you provide a small screenshot of that 
bottom left area with the recent icon(s)?

Not that I know of. But IIRC this is discussed for GTK V3

Unfortunately not in all cases. Scaling a complex SVG content down to 
16*16 pixels or even lower resolutions can blurr the content completely. 
For openstreetmap.org I've drawn lot's of map icons in SVG, and it 
wasn't uncommon that they were useless when scaled down to 16*16 - so I 
also had to draw a simplified SVG for low resolutions.
