	Certainly ! where the images are concerned, the biggest space win we
can get is to get rid of all the high-contrast icons (into their own
theme). This is an 'easy hack'[1] - should be a fairly simple
re-factoring job: ripping out all that cruft that was cluelessly added
to cope with only a single disability (and ignoring eg. low-contrast
users).

	So - currently, we have bogus duplicates of ~all icons in the
theme .zip files ;-)

	The diff didn't contain the data ;-) [ which is prolly quite large ].
It is perhaps better to share the script you're using, and a list of
high-win files we can use - would that make sense ?

	Anyhow - thanks for getting involved - and look forward to your
script :-)

	HTH,

		Michael.
