Hi Antoine!
Nice work on these, but I feel that a simpler approach to the shapes 
might be needed, something along the lines of those used in Adobe 
Indesign (and the rest of the suite as well?). We also need to focus on 
the icons that are left.
Here is a mockup showing the icons we currently use in Scribus [1] that 
Craig referred to. What is most urgent right now is figuring out 
metaphors and images for the things Craig listed.

These metaphors are pretty good already and would just need some 
tango-styling:
* Make horizontal gaps between items equal to the value specified
* Make vertical gaps between items equal to the value specified
They are the ones with X and Y in the Distribute section of the dialog [2].
