The Gnome icons are consistent because the Gnome people designed them 
that way, I didn't do anything in the conversion.   The colors of this 
icon seem to be a bit off compared to the standard icons.  I don't have 
any opinion on this icon, if you feel it is better, check it in.  Just 
don't forget to reduce the colors some more, ideally not more than 
hundred.  Otherwise people running on 8 bit displays will run out.  When 
reducing colors, avoid dithering, it looks bad on icons this small.  And 
use the same palette as for the other icons also, so the sum of colors 
Emacs uses doesn't increase (it is on the limit for 8 bit displays already).
