as the Tux-in-a-plane has somehow become *the* symbol for GCompris (as has the name) one could also 
think of sticking to this icon and just transform it in a way that reflects the changes of the new 
version. Like adding a second seat for konqi or slightly changing the color scheme to KDE blue or Qt 
green ... or so. :-)
