Most of the Emacs icons I've seen uses a gnu of some sort, and I would think many existing emacs uses associate emacs with those gnu images, even though this is not technically a correct association. For new users, a notebook with a distinct graphic is clean and sets it apart from other icons. It's clean, clear and works. I've tried it both on an old laptop with Win95 and a GNU/Linux box running GNUStep... looks good and I'm sure it will look good on gnome and kde... I also like it slanted better than flat -- it keeps it distinct from MS icons for Notepad and Wordpad (yuck!). b/ -- Brad Collins , Bangkok, Thailand
