the problem is that those icons were copyrighted by Microsoft.
I probably repeat myself but I _don't_ want to see _any_ 
MS-Windows artwork in CVS. 
Apart from the legal issues I'm not very keen on making KDE look more like 
Windows than it needs to.
They have been replaced by icons with a different name. Also werner wanted
to do some changes to make the colorselector look like this:

Shawn: btw: The kugar-icon is very well-designed and it looks beautiful.
But it looks like a mimetype-icon. Could you tell your artist too remove the 
generic mimetype-paper behind that footstep (and make the footstep 
therefore larger) or to replace it by a non-mimetype-like-paper
(as in the kword-icon). I consider the icon which is currently chosen
a usability-bug. Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
Tackat
