Thanks, yes the "red-acked" is indeed what it should be. My mail went
out a bit fast this morning.

The "recent" gifs apparently depend on a particular option being set
which is currently only manipulated by the bbgen utility, so it doesn't
kick in for the CGI utilities that show the status logs. I'll find some
way of tweaking that, e.g. is you reference the "abc-recent" icon then
it will make it work.

Please send them to me, and I'll include them with the Hobbit distro.
The current set of images were picked for one simple reason: I wanted
something that I could distribute without fear of copyright
infringement, and the current set of images were GPL released. So if
you're willing to make your icons available under GPL or some other OSS
license, that would be very welcome.
