I'm not an icon designer, but I've made several icons for my own desktop
and for GWorkspace, to be used with the Rik.theme from Riccardo
Canalicchio and Alessandro Sangiuliano. You can see and download it on
Github :

https://github.com/BertrandDekoninck/RikIcons

It's not Tango, and you may think it's too OSX-ish.
I've got some Music, Images, Download, Library and System Icons in the
"SVG Source/common" folder of the repository.

Maybe I could find some time to put them on a Tango Folder icon.

Just to be sure : what is the format needed ? Tiff ? PNG ? in a 48x48 or
higher ?
