Not to mention they will just drive you crazy!

We ripped out the blinkers and installed a new set of "calm" .png files. 
We then sym-linked the old .gif names to new .png names and moved on 
with our lives.

The green/red/etc.gif files are non-blinking, but they are used for 
"older" alerts. The green/red/etc-recent.gif files are blinkers. I don't 
think there are any other non-blinkers.
