RFC: KDevelop4 icons, what do we want/need?

I am working on a list of IDE-like icons to give to the
Oxygen folk, so 
that KDevelop4 can have system-provided icons. Anyway, a few
comments...

For debugging controls, could VCR icons be used for run,
break, stop, 
restart?

Should more autotools-related menus have icons? (distclean,
configure, 
run autotools, etc.) What about 'make messages', 'make doc',
etc.?

Is there anything else (that isn't already in the
system-wide icons) 
that needs/wants icons that I am forgetting?

This will go up at trunk/playground/artwork/Oxygen/docs. I'm
attaching 
the current draft if anyone would like to comment. I'll
commit in a 
maybe a day or two if no one comments.

This is a list of icons that are needed by KDevelop that are
applicable to at
least IDE's in general (some have even wider application
than that, e.g. the
sync-to-current-folder icon which is also used by at least
Kate).

I don't know how many are 'on the list' already, but I
didn't see the compile
group, so I'm guessing most of these are 'new'.

NOTE: items with '?' are lower priority (things that don't
currently have icons
and may not need them). IMO 'sync to folder' and 'find in
files' should have
highest priority since these are most likely to have wider
use (also the sync
icon in KDE 3.5 is terrible ).

- build icons
	- 'build'
		builds the project (like 'make')
		ideas: window with fat down arrow at the lower center or
lower right
	- 'build active'
		builds the 'active target' ('$ make <target>')
	? 'compile'
		compiles a single file
		ideas: like 'build' but with a file instead of a window
	- 'clean'
		deletes built files ('$ make clean')
		ideas: broom, broom over window/files
	? 'distclean'
		deletes maintainer-generated files, like 'configure' ('$
make distclean')
		ideas: broom over a gear/wrench
	? 'configure'
		ideas: like 'build' but with a gear/wrench also
	? 'run autotools'
		ideas: like 'configure'?
	? 'install'
	? 'install as root'
	? 'make messages'
		builds files for i18n
		ideas: like 'build' but also with pen/feather/stylus
- debug icons
	- 'run', 'break', 'stop'
		...listed for completion (will use VCR 'play', 'pause',
'stop' resp.)
	- 'restart'
		ideas: use VCR-style restart; play after a bar? what is
VCR restart? use
		       VCR 'back' (reverse play pointing to bar)?
	- 'run to cursor'
		continues execution until execution reaches the line where
the cursor is
		ideas: VCR-style forward (play pointing to bar)?
	- 'step'
		executes one line of code, then stops
	- 'step instruction'
		executes exactly one machine instruction, then stops
	- 'step out'
		completes execution of the current function, stopping when
the function
		returns
	- 'step over'
	- 'set next'
		changes the instruction-pointer to the line of code under
the cursor
	- 'breakpoint'
		indicates a line where the debugger will halt execution
		ideas: stop sign, red circle with 'X'

- misc icons
  - 'sync to folder'
		used in places where the user selects a path to set the
path to the
		'working directory' (usually the location of the active
document)
		ideas: folder with an arrow pointing into it, e.g.
		       http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-artists&m=1168
89123829485&q=p3
	- 'find in files'
		ideas: folder with magnifying glass, folder with
binnoculars
	- 'new project'
		ideas: window with 'new' sparkle
	- 'open project'
		ideas: window with small folder overlayed
