Sounds good to me, as long as the icons follow the general look of the
existing ones.

I'm free to discuss coding details of getting it mainstream.

With the summer coming to a close, I'm not going to be making regular
changes.  Soon it's back to school, for me.  Although at the moment, I'd
need more feedback to determine what improvements are needed.

I think it would be a good idea to move it to KDE SVN, if that makes
integration easier.  At the moment, I'm the only CC developer doing the
KDE work for liblicense, and I already have a KDE SVN account.  Moving
it to KDE wouldn't be any trouble (for me).
