Nothing is really wrong (apart the issue with transparency which only
affects people using transparent panels like me, so not a real problem)
- it is just that we can make it nicer, more attractive and clearer. I
much more like the new GNU horns shape, and the new proposition I make
respects the Tango guidelines, so will suit better in desktops.

The shield icon was simply to show you another option, but just forget
it. As for the key, nothing is necessary, if you prefer the earth &
horns alone, I can remove it. The only matter is that, as I said, the
earth with horns doesn't fill the square when I choose the nicer
proportions. So either I have to let blank space up and down, or I must
add something above or under the earth. Even with the key, this is a
problem. Any ideas ?

I do this, we'll see what they say. Packaging is much reactive
currently: 0.7.2c is already in Debian.

OK, I did not know it was also hiding *inserted* (not indexed) content.
Nice option on the long run, maybe it would be good to tell it in the
Welcome page, since when they try this new network, people always check
whether it is working or not, and may be disappointed.


Good hacking!
