Are you sure that those are in the public domain? We are not talking about "GPLed by some arbitrary party" here. We can't use those without a copyright assignment. And if we go using some desktop software icons, it would make more sense to take GNOME icons for consistency which we are using elsewhere in Emacs. Speaking of which we already must have gone through this procedure with some GNOME icons before, so it should not be too difficult to do it again. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
