* I like getting lots of smiley emails.
* I really really like the "Y" icon for Yahoo! instead of the
  meaningless yellow face that we have now.
* I very much prefer the MS butterfly for MSN (although I'm not
  a big fan of the one in
  http://gaim.sourceforge.net/sean/some-more-protocols.png--it's
  too difficult to tell what it is).
* It's probably just not his style... but I think I would prefer
  icons that have a slightly more 3d and shiney look about them
* I don't like the clock for awayness.  It's counterintuitive
  to me.  A clock should mean idle.  I think it's much more
  commonplace to use some sort of yellow or gray note type thing
  to signify awayness.
* The blue blobby guy... I don't quite understand it.  Is that
  intended to replace the Gaim guy?  It seems like it should be
  more purple.  And perhaps resemble a human a bit more.
  Especially the smallest version, which tends to look like two
  meaningless blobs to me.
* In http://gaim.sourceforge.net/sean/gaim2.png you don't show
  the protocol next to the screen name anymore.  I'm not sure
  I like that.  Well, mostly I don't understand the speech
  bubble icon next to jdev.  Is that supposed to mean away?
  It seems like it means available for chat or something.
  And actually it seems like that icon would be better suited
  for use as a button rather than to display someone's state.
