Bill,
I also didn't particuarly like the xterm icons, but I have a problem with
the xterm icon with the red X. Red X in most pc/windows terms means
delete. As a matter of fact when I was first playing around with the
gnu/gnome-look, I was trying to get rid of the xterm window and clicked on
the xterm button with the red x. (Debby can attest to this, she was a
witness.) And guess what happened? I got another damn xterm window. It
didn't take me learn to figure out what was happening, but it represented a
"paradigm shift." So I would favor the xterm icon with a grey x anologous
to the gnome icon with the monitor with the gnome foot. So far I haven't
found any buyers.
Susan
