I it *might* be. Elliott added a semi-transparent white border after
Balint pointed out that the icon gets lost over a blue background. On an
XP machine here the icon looks fine in 32-bit color but I get a white
jaggy border when I switch to 16-bit color. I'm not sure how to fix it
without giving up the subtle border it produces when you have full alpha
rendering.
BTW, this isn't limited to XP. The Debian Menu System[1] specification
only allows XPM icons so we're pretty much guaranteed to look awful there.
