The current icon is fine. I think we integrate with the desktop through dbus support, status icons etc, not by adding a pen at some specified angle to the Emacs icon. If a user can't grok that a notebook represents an editor then I think he will have trouble grasping the subtleties of Emacs. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
