@Tobias
I asked on #gimp and the one person who responded told me to ask the developer mailing list :) that's why I'm here. I could check again, I suppose.
No worries, is there someone ultimately responsible for the icon? I suppose the icon is probably not a pressing concern among the devs :/ and I'm not familiar with how the icon got decided the last couple of times. Maybe talking to the previous designer would be a good idea? Thanks for helping, know the icon isn't your responsibility.
I'll look forward to the interview, as I said I really appreciate the opportunity–hopefully you can send me more details as the time approaches?
Oh, and most of what I said is drawn from the holy grail of ui, the Apple interface guidelines, which covers icons, gui, interaction–everything design related in an app. Very handy reference, it explains the standards and, more importantly, the thoughts behind them.
Best of luck.

@c55 inator to clarify:
I'm just the usability guy on the project, not a developer or maintainer.
I'm not entitled to deciding upon the icon of GIMP.
To find out who is, maybe checking the irc channel might help
(http://www.gimp.org/irc.html).
I did not mean to refuse your offer.
I just wanted to recruit you for an interview, because your work showed me that
you are one of the guys I'm interested in for these interviews... ;-)
...for which we can use a text-based platform (in October, when the
interviews will be conducted).
And I think you're right about what you're writing about icons.
