I've heard of few people comment on not knowing where to get free icons or that the ones people already have aren't very good. The only place I know of to get free icons is http://interfacelift.com/icons-win/index.php?sort=date. They have Mac., Windows, and Linux icons. If anyone else knows more places to get them I'm sure we would like to hear.

Some open source icons
http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Gallery
There's an open source clipart library in svg format. These can be scaled and exported as icons (Inkscape even has an icon preview function)

I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you.
Just be sure that the license is compatible with if you're using it in an open source app. Free icons are generally under a freeware license, which means you can't use them in open source projects and host on SourceForge or Google Code. Others are under a Creative Commons license, which can usually be used alongside open source but can't be compiled into a GPLed binary (or some other licenses).
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
