Slight change in plan - since the mimetype icons are so similar (in
terms of gradients, borders, colors etc), thought it may actually be
a good idea to keep it in one source file - assigned proper area
placeholder labels therefore, and uploaded the tweaked svg here:

http://users.freedesktop.org/~thorsten/LibreOffice_Initial_Icons.svg

There's a tiny Python script that scrapes the label names from the
svg, and calls inkscape to export individual pngs from it.

It works like this: you make the "Size Placeholder Document Symbols"
layer editable, and (for ease of handling) crank its opacity to
100%. For each column (like Writer), you select one of the
placeholders, and set its Object Properties -> Label. For existing
icons, you notice the naming scheme, e.g. "main_128_hc" or
"main_128". Before running the script, of course you need to set
that placeholder layer opacity back to 0, to not have it visible.

I strongly suggest similar setups, should we even touch other icons.

Cheers,
