win32 emacs icon

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-windows98.3000)
  of 2004-03-10 on NYAUMO
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.2)'
Important settings:
   value of $LC_ALL: nil
   value of $LC_COLLATE: nil
   value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
   value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
   value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
   value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
   value of $LC_TIME: nil
   value of $LANG: enu
   locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1
   default-enable-multibyte-characters: t

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I've ~just~ now installed emacs v21.3.1 for Windows, from here:
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-21.3-fullbin-i386.tar.gz
and I thought I'd let you know about one minor and easily reparable bug: 
the default icon from that installation is, well, cruddy. Something to 
do with transparency being applied to the wrong color. Instead of a gnu, 
it looks like a giant oyster mushroom or something.

Here's a zoomed cropped screenshot of the icon:

Obviously I can just change the icon to whatever I like, but I figure 
you'd want to know about this spot of brokenness.

Thank you for your report.

The next release will have an entirely different Emacs icon, let's
hope you will like it better.
