Re: [PLUG] favicon

[Paul <paul@dpagin.net>]

I just thought of something.  Favicons may not work as desktop icons if 
they aren't designed for that purpose.  A favicon is a file which can 
contain multiple instances of an icon.  The smaller icons goes in the 
browser while larger icons are used for the desktop.
