You could just do what everybody else does.  Do the code with no icon at all.  
Someone, usually me, will get sick of looking at the generic "no icon" icon 
and come up with something.  There's no particular reason for you to bother 
unless you just enjoy shuffling pixels around.

As far as guidelines and stuff...  I don't know.  I'm sure there's some 
treatise on the subject, but I haven't read it.  Someone was trying to get me 
to look at some Human Interface Guidelines once, but I kept falling asleep 
trying to wade through it all.

Just look in gui/pixmaps/toolbar to get an idea for how everything else works 
and try to make your stuff follow suit.  I edit everything with the GIMP, but 
if you don't know the GIMP, you can probably make do with a lesser editor.
