Where are you getting your 2.13 builds?  As far as I can
tell, the gnome icon theme is still the default in CVS.
I don't remember seeing any real discussion about this,
and I certainly don't remember it being announced.  And
that sort of change should really be announced to me.

No no, you're totally right.  To the extent that you're
able to make screenshots correct and final, please do.
It saves everybody work down the road.  Just keep in
mind that we do need to check all the old screenshots
after UI freeze to make sure they're correct.
