The new icons for the select tool *are* relevant in
that the select tools are now different, and as a result, the
icons reflect this. (At least in my version) the drop down does
work, you just need to click and hold for a second or two for the
additional options to pop up. You will see that the original
select tool icon is used to represent the original select tool
functionality, and there are several new select tools each with a
specific icon so that you know what you're doing when you're doing
it.
I noticed that the new tools select only when I have totally
encompassed a feature. Previously, I think, when I used the
rectangular selection, drawing over any part of a feature caused it
to be selected. Now I have to draw over the whole feature to get it
selected. The situation where this might not be intuitive is
selecting a line segment from a multipart layer. You have to somehow
know in advance where the segment begins and ends, otherwise it's
never selected.

These may be more opinion than actual issues, just wanted to
see what
others thought.
1. When adding a vector layer, you hit browse the default
tends to be
shapefile, but when you add a raster the default is "All
GDAL formats".
I think All OGR formats would be a much better default,
having to scroll
all the time for gml, kml etc is really annoying especially
when I'm
working hard to break people of the assumption that vector =
shapefile.
2. As pointed out by a colleague: Many people new to GIS
have no idea
the KML = Keyhole Markup Language, so it's not clear on the
Save as..
option that is actually KML. The same might be said for GML.
Either
changing the names in the list or putting (Hint) would seem
useful to users.
3. In 1.6 builds (Could be my build from last week) the
Select tool does
not appear to work the same way(Ctrl fails to add or remove
from the
selection), and th icon has a new drop down indicator that
doesn't seem
to work. 2ndary note, I'm all for making clearer icons for
tools but it
seems excessive to change what they look like every version
especially
if we're not actually testing new v. old on human test
subjects to verify.
Thanks,
Alex
