 ===== QStyle's standardIcon() function =====
-An alternative to using icon resources is provided by the ''standardIcon()'' function, which is an instance member of the ''QStyle'' abstract base class((http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qstyle.html#standardIcon)). This function provides access to the subset of standard system icons enumerated in ''StandardPixmap-enum''((http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qstyle.html#StandardPixmap-enum)).

-The enumerated icons should be available on all platforms, so testing for their existence isn't required. The main issue with using ''standardIcon()'' is that on my platform at least (Linux, Ubuntu 10.10) it does not provide multi-sized icons. You'll get icons from the system theme, but they will be resized and fuzzy at times. (I haven't tested the behavior on Windows and OS X, so it might not be the case on those platforms.) Another issue is that many common icons are not part of ''StandardPixmap-enum''.

 Implementation requires only a bit of straight-forward hand-coding.
