Well, Gnus 5.11 (Emacs CVS) and the stable branch (v5-10; 5.10.x
series) should be in sync.  The stable branch should only contain bug
fixes -- no new features.

My plan was to add the new icons (with the structure discussed above)
to the Gnus trunk and enable the new Gnome style tool bars by default.
This has been done in the meantime: The new icons are used by default
since 2006-03-01 (Emacs 22) or 2006-03-02 (Emacs 21) if the display
has enough colors (see `gmm-tool-bar-style').

If they work nicely and got some testing, I will re-consider whether
to put in it v5-10/Emacs or not.

But I think you can update MH-E independently of this.  We can
add/update all new images used by either MH-E or Gnus in Emacs CVS.

Fine with me.  In <16231.1140316818@olgas.newt.com> you're suggestion
was $ei/mail/preview, but we can still change this to use $ei/preview.

"#" meant "not committed yet", e.g. because name is still under
discussion.   My last message WRT to sort*.xpm was:

Yes, "flag-for-..." would not be 8.3 friendly.  For mail-display.xpm
there is no problem, AFAICS.

Fine with me.

Bye, Reiner.
