Yesterday I read on a web page of one of my friend (thanks, Nakano-san :)
that "toico" (http://http://wizard.ae.krakow.pl/~jb/toico/) can create
an ico file with two (16x16 and 32x32) images.

I planed to check/verify this last night, but I can't due to short of time.
I'll do check/create new ico file in a few weeks, but I welcome if anyone
can do it. Anyway, hope this works.  

Regards.

 Aaah, I think I *know* where the problem is.  Apache seems to have to
be told which mime-type it should send for the file.  Could be that the
IE gets it requests it somewhat wrong *hmmm*   I try to investigate as
far as I can.

 At least when you transfer that file directly to your box (wget or
such) you get it correctly.

 I found out what might be the problem:
favicon.ico: ms-windows icon resource - 2 icons, 16x16, 256-colors

 this one is from favicon.de - which you should be able to see in your
IE (just tested it on a machine here).  So it might be needed that we
need to change that (although, when opening the file it doesn't display
2 icons, both in kiconedit or gnome-iconedit *h*).

 Another thing I've noticed, when opening both files in kiconedit: The
one which works in IE is 32x32 pixels big, ours is 16x16.

 When opening the favicon.ico from the favicon.de site in the browser
directly it looks broken, too.

 My analysis:
=

 It might be needed that we have both a 16x16 image and a 32x32 image
within the same file to avoid any problems.  I don't know if we can do
that with (gnome-,k)iconedit and xpm2wico - at least worth a try.

 HTH,

Erk. I just checked it myself, and alfie's favicon.ico is also not a proper
file, but "data", and looks distorted like the one on www.d.o. WTF is

It looks a bit wierd on my browser.  The funny thing is that going to
the url direct it looked ok.
