The icons are still 24x24. MacOSX has (had?) the same problem - it
allocates a 24x24 button to draw the icon on. Our old icons *data*
(non-transparent parts) was more like 21x21 instead of closer to the
24x24 actual icon size. Make your buttons 26x26 or something like that
and this will go away.

They are bigger and beefier. The clipping is described above.

The overwhelming majority of people in Unix and Mac land like the new
icons (even my windows-using friends agree). Everyone polled on IRC
likes the new icons. I spoke up before even with a screenshot of what
Abi would look like with the new icons (including a warning saying that
I would upgrade abi in the near future to use these said icons:

and it go 0 replies. You spoke up too late. I'm not CVS reverting my
checkin.
