That was my own reaction to the kitchen sink icon... and I still use emacs. Actually, I was half joking, half serious -- we were talking about makeing an icon which expressed the essense of using Emacs -- so the happy face was an idea to let the icon express people's reaction to using emacs, rather than the program itself (which is really hard to describe in 16x16 pixels). We could also make the icon show a happy face with a mustache shaped like gnu horns... :-) But I like AZ's icons too. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
