Well, this brings up another related topic.  I proposed some time ago (some 
months) that we replace our current "the K Desktop Environment" logo (the one 
with the gear K and the script everything else) with a logo with just KDE.  
In fact, it looked very similar to the KDE in those snapshots.

At the time, the reaction was mostly indifference (after everybody understood 
what I was proposing) but there was no opposition to it.. not even from you, 
Torsten.  I never pursued it because I'm not a good enough artist to make the 
official logo.

Now if we *do* go with a KDE with a gear K as our logo, then we can 
strengthen our branding in every respect.
