Maybe then every major Emacs version should have a new icon? This will help to visually distinguish icons for different Emacs versions. It seems this is already a long established practice: Emacs 19 has a kitchen sink icon, Emacs 20 - a mushroom, Emacs 21 - a gnu's head, and Emacs 22 - a notebook. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
