Scribus runs on Windows.. as available from 1.3.2, with 1.3.3 coming up. Files

We are seriously considering the tango ArtLibre set of icons, and will be 
discussing this at the Libre Graphics Meeting in Lyon over the weekend. Once

We also plan an icon theme system though in case we need to use a particular 
icon or set on a platform.
