Minor correction: None of the current Gnus images will be moved (the
old icons will still be available for those who prefer the retro
look).  The Gnome icons will be placed into etc/images or
etc/images/mail (and a single icon in etc/image/gnus).

No comments, no objection so far.  So I think we can go ahead an
install the icons in Emacs CVS.

I could add the icons in Emacs CVS, but not before Monday.  Miles, as
you know, the icons are already in the trunk of Gnus repository.  Is
it better if you sync them into v5-10 and to Emacs via arch or is
there no difference for you?

BTW, I checked in the *.xpm icons as binary ("-kb").  I'm not sure if
this is necessary for xpm's.  Is it necessary?

Bill, I'd suggest that you merge the latest changes[1] in
*image-load-path-for-library from lisp/gmm-utils.el into your version
and add it to `image.el'.

Bye, Reiner.

[1]	* gmm-utils.el (gmm-image-load-path-for-library): Return single
	directory if path is t.  Add no-error.
