The Gimp will do icons, but it really is not that easy to use with Icons (I still have problems getting .ico files to export as a combination of multiple resolutions properly). Other than that, I can think of some editors that you have to pay for, but that's not meeting your criteria. :think:

if can create what you want in .png then you can use this website (http://www.convertico.com/) to do the conversion to .ico to use on your desktop. Have used it a number of times and had no problems with it :)

Hope it helps.

I was just going to suggest using PNG icons.. the quality can be much nicer. :)
