Now the remaining question is: has this logo *really* been done from
scratch ? Because there is an almost official svg version of the logo
done with adobe illustrator, which is not under a free license, and if
the logo in gnome-themes-extra appears to be based on this logo, and
saved with sodipodi, there is a problem.
