Re: 2.16 logo and banner

The idea of "Your Way Home..." hit me while I was reading Quim Gil's
post on Planet Gnome.

The concept is this:
When using your desktop computer you should feel comfortable. So Gnome
being that user-friendly, makes you feel right *at* home. If other
desktops have misled you, you can always find your way back
"Home/Gnome" :)

As for the icons following the same path, its just that we're having
the best apps over for dinner! j/k
