My commendations to the artist (packing that much detail into 16x16 
pixels is not easy), but I have to agree, I look at enough bugs anyway 
without having them crawling around my screen.

In general, I have to agree with Vincent B's comment on Roman's blog - 
the new icons do look a bit like "NetBeans for Babies".  They are nicely 
done - icons are hard, and these are definitely easier to distinguish at 
high resolution than the old ones.  But I keep wanting to put the New 
Project icon in my mouth...
