I think you do need 'Inkscape' to amend and create .svg files. However, you can copy and paste images between 'Gimp' and 'Inkscape' easily enough. I have created a few program icons like that, also have used the images as templates to 'draw' around them in inkscape.

potrace is a great little utility for converting (B&W) bitmaps to SVG.
Then you can make fine adjustments (and set colours) with inkscape.
