may I recommend http://www.orangeicons.com , not exactly free but really really cheap - you can buy icons one by one there not sets.
There's http://www.openclipart.org too, an inkscape initaitive for lots of free cliparts.
I've looked at OpenClipart, but the search could be a lot better. There should also be an easy way to search/navigate clipart that you download (like how Office does it).
I am aware of Clip Art Browser (http://www.openclipart.org/wiki/index.php/Clip_Art_Browser), but have not managed to get it working. I just want to download a standalone binary of it. The extra steps often required (downloading source, compiling with appropriate tool) will prevent it ever being used by most people.
At the moment, nothing really competes with Office in terms of clipart (amount, user friendliness, browsing and searching)
