I'm fine with the icon improvements.  The rotate menu entry string
changes are technically incorrect.  The rotation angle is user
configurable and may not always be 90 degrees so "Rotate 90 deg CW" is
not always going to be correct.  That is why there is no rotation angle
in the current string.  I would rather the string be "Rotate Clockwise"
or create the appropriate string at run time using the current user
rotation setting to "Rotate 45.0 deg Clockwise".  Also, "CW" may not be
understood as clockwise or easily translatable in all languages.  I
guess we cannot use the degrees character '°' due to font issues.  It
would be nice to use the symbol rather than spell it out so the menu
string doesn't get too long.
