Hi Thomas!
Nice to see some new faces!
If it is a application that supports regular icon lookup (like a 
GTK+/GNOME or a QT/KDE app) all you should need to do is create the new 
ones, like "optimize" and the system will look up the other for you.
In the application you then install the new icons according to the info 
you can find here: http://live.gnome.org/ThemableAppIcons
The apps launcher icon should be named the same as the binary and should 
be installed in $prefix/share/icons/hicolor/$size/apps
Hope it helps!
