Hold on, fellas. There has been some discussion about what icon to use there, and I've argued that something resembling the Windows icon would be best. Here is why I think so: a menu icon should make you think of what that menu will show, to ease navigation. A glass of wine only says "Windows programs" to somebody who is familiar with the Wine project and "gets" the joke. New users will have no way of knowing what that menu does without guess-and-check. So, an icon which makes them think "Windows" would be the better option. That being said, the fact that a few (talking 2 or 3 here) of us on the art mailing list have expressed that opinion does not come close to meaning that it's going to happen. If it did happen, it wouldn't be until Karmic Koala, and there would be plenty of time for discussion first. We haven't even seen any mockups of what the new icon might look like, and we definitely wouldn't use an actual Windows logo, since that would be way non-free. Please feel free to be a part of this discussion. Cheers, Ryan
