Have you discussed buttons and icons? I'm seeing icon where button would
be appropriate.
An icon is a graphic representation of a construct or some object, while
a button (usually) resides on some kind of tool bar or dialog box and
initiates some kind of action or determines some kind of setting.
Some companies use icon simply because people are so used to it ... they
call *everything* an icon. I vote for taking the higher ground. Comments?
Most of the documentation on OOo (including the help files) used to refer
to toolbar "buttons" as icons, and I believe it still does, so we've been
using "icon" for toolbar items. Other buttons (usually on dialog boxes) are
buttons.
