Even after looking up what that means, I still don't understand _what_ it means :) Either way, I'd be very surprised if people had strong opinion on it.

Other suggestions? I kindof jumped the gun there few days ago and added couple of icons from the Tango lib for all warnings and tips in the manaul. See http://no.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php for example. I have no problem changing these icons to use some other lib. I really like the idea of using an icon lib for various things like that. -Hannes
