[Tango-artists] Generic Network Items

[Frédéric Bellaiche]

I'll send the SVG versions of the servers as soon as they'll be finished.

As for DIA, well, last time I tried (a couple of weeks ago, with sources
freshly pulled out from CVS), its SVG support was rather poor:

- Only a small subset of the SVG standard seemed to be supported. I tried to
create news sets of icons for DIA but with no real success (see the aspect
of the firewall "button" in the attached screenshot)
- You can drag/drop icons (either png or svg) to DIA's canvas. It looks
good, but the SVG are actually converted into bitmaps and thus you lose the
scalability. This sucks.

For now, my usual workflow is something like:

1/ leave nautilus'  window with network icons on the side of DIA and use it
as a palette. You can use either svgs or pngs, it'll end up the same inside
DIA...
2/ drag / drop the items you need inside DIA
3/ do DIA's business (connections, texts, ...)
4/ export as PNG

This workflow is good as long as you produce bitmaps as outputs. So it'll be
good for online web documentations.
But it's crappy for vectorial outputs. For that, we are stuck with DIA's
icons, which... well... don't look very good :(
