Hello Manu!
As those actions are not covered by the Icon Naming Specification [1], 
they could either go into tango-icon-theme-extras or just be sent to the 
developers of the application they are to be used in as you have already 
done (in this case the logout dialog in Ubuntu Dapper for those not 
familiar with Manu's work).

Perhaps it would be nice to have a database with icons drawn following 
the tango guidelines so that application developers can have somewhere 
to look for interface elements for their applications. It would also be 
cool if the metadata in the icons could be search able.
I can try contact the openclipart-people and see if their 
gallery-solution is reusable for our needs.
Does this sounds like a good idea to you others as well?
