Either solution is fine. I guess we'd prefer an image rather than Unicode 
arrows, as otherwise we'd be at the mercy of the font and we've already had 
problems with ₂)

You're right, we can't depend on the standard icons since they may not be 
there. This is the code that uic generates:

        QString iconThemeName = QString::fromUtf8("go-previous");
        if (QIcon::hasThemeIcon(iconThemeName)) {
            icon1 = QIcon::fromTheme(iconThemeName);
        } else {
            icon1.addFile(QString::fromUtf8(""), QSize(), QIcon::Normal, 
QIcon::Off);
        }
