I was specifically asking about the only .ico file sent by Andrew. It looks exactly like the 16x16 .png icon we now have in etc/images/icons directory.

Let's for now settle for the same scheme as we had before: 32x32 and 48x48 for size, and for each size one icon on dark background and one on light background. > A) Which different sizes do we want in the icon file for w32?

Again, I'd say let's for now have the same color resolutions as we had before. Let's not complicate the issue by too much creeping featurism; that will come later.
