reduce screenshot area as much as possible cropping the window manager borders and disabling the help button (you can do it in the preference dialog),
set the image mode to indexed 255 colors
→ →This is not necessary for icons and if your image has only few colors. In these cases, indexed images are bigger than non-indexed.
set print resolution to 144 ppi (not for small images like icons). You can do this easily with GIMP from
→Exportieren Sie Bilder im PNG-Format.

→ folder, indicating it by a comment in the XML file:
Symbole für GIMP befinden sich im Ordner »usr/share/gimp2.0/icons«. Die GTK-Symbole befinden sich im Ordner »usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gtk2«.
Um ein Symbol in den Text einzufügen:
