Well, it's miles better than the K made out of pencils we had before... I 
rather liked it when Everaldo made it for us, but I guess you're right about 
the guidelines. What I'm not really happy with is that the postcard + pencil 
on the background is the same as the one in the Gimp icon on my system.

Well, seeing it's Everaldo who came up with this icon, I'm not sure about 
getting a better one. I've got an idea -- icon contests are quite popular on 
kdelook, and when Krita's in shape again for the next tarball, I'll open an 
icon contest.
