We discussed the shadow during the first few iterations and came to the 
conclusion not to use it.

I don't remember the reason exactly, but I think that some OS add their 
own shadow to the icons on the desktop? And we didn't want to waste 
precious pixel...

What I read from Thorsten is in the mail you attached:

So if I understand it correctly, we need 24x24 px icons already 
including one empty pixel at every side.

This might be dependent on operating system and distribution, otherwise 
I don't know why Galaxy mentions 26x26, but perhaps Thorsten can 
enlighten us....
