The everyday user (yes, they exist) is = not. In what situation does the everyday user want to add an icon to emacs? = Programmers adding functionality might easily want new icons for that = functionality, but I'm not easily imagining a situation where an = `everyday user' would want to add a new icon to emacs without crossing = (pretty far, imho) the line into what you seem to be calling a = programmer. Perhaps a user might want to switch all their icons to 'silk versions', = something that might reasonably be done in a package. If that package = contained all of the silk icons suggested, hundreds of them would still = be wasted space. What am I missing? *Chad=
