Hi Gerald,

I noticed someplace where the new Wireshark icon...  Well, looks a
little funny.  I don't mind at all but I mention it because it seems
sometimes this kind of thing drives graphics people crazy.

The attached crop of a screenshot is what I see when I rdesktop from
Fedora 18 into a Windows XP laptop (which happens to have 1.10.0rc1
installed).  Note the... Pixelization(?) around the edges of the icon.

without giving up the subtle border it produces when you have full alpha
rendering.

Yeah, as I said, just wanted to mention it...
