Thanks for the pointers. I'll try out your solutions and let you know how it goes.

You are right: icons in Linux applications are not packaged in a
resource file like WinDoze duz. Instead, they are either separate
files installed by the RPM, or they are embedded in the program text
where they look a lot like orginary code.
Two solutions come to mind:
1) Pick them out of the RPM file. Say you have a program "foo" and
you know there are icons associated with it. Using The Force,
Luke, you can use this command line string:
$ rpm -q -f $(which foo) -l | egrep -i '.(png|jpg|gif|xpm|xbm)$'
to see a list of image files installed by the RPM which owns the
executable "foo". (If you already know the path to the "foo"
executable, just replace the "$(which foo)" with that path.
2) Cheat by using a screen shot...
