In my vague memory, some GNOME 1.x versions used to use a flower
logo at the main menu. And after some search, I've found some
evidences:

  http://www.gnome.org/images/screenshots/20000518-iain-big
  http://www.gnome.org/images/screenshots/20000520-ole-big

I don't know the reason behind this. And GDM also provides a flower
theme in its stock. Probably, it associates with garden gnomes?

Anyway, can we use the flower as a secondary logo for GNOME?
