If I understand you correctly, this is up to each windowmanager. Some wms can't have a penguin in the corner, but I see no harm in changing the default for those that can. It should, however be up to the maintainer of each wm. -- The only way tcsh rocks is when the rocks are attached to it's feet in the deepest part of a very deep lake.

I tried to do this myself, and found that the logo was unrecognizable when shrunk down that small. The lines are too thin, and critical detail gets lost. RH's logo is actually a lot cleaner and more elegant (IMO) than Debian's.

I'd prefer a new logo as well (with no offense intended toward the kind person who created the current one!) But I can't draw, so I guess I should shut up. :-) How did we arrive at the current logo?
