vectorize bitmaps

[Nicu Buculei <nicu_fedora nicubunu ro>]

This may be a crazy and worthless idea:

I noticed the image-x-generic icon 
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/EchoDevelopment?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=image-x-genericL.png) 
contains an embedded bitmap 
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/EchoDevelopment?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=landscape.jpg).

How about using a vectorized version of the bitmap?

The downside is the SVG resulted after tracing loses a lot of details 
and have a large file size, but is much easier to work with it in a 
vector application.

The bitmap after tracing: 
http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/echo/landscape_traced.svg

The image-x-generic icon using the traced vector image instead of bitmap:
- SVG: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/echo/image-x-genericL_traced.svg (yes, 
is full vector)
- PNG: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/echo/image-x-genericL_traced.png

note: I have no shadow and the outline is not quite the same, this can 
be corrected easily.
