Comment 17 for bug 123064

This is pretty trivial, but in my pursuit of desktop perfection, I'm a bit annoyed by the eclipse icon (icon.xpm file) that comes bundled in the precompiled version of Eclipse from Eclipse.org. Namely, it has a purple background around the Eclipse sphere instead of transparency. I recall getting an icon with a transparent background when I installed Eclipse 3.2 from the repository, and that's definitely the icon you get if you download the 3.3 Windows or Mac versions. What's extra strange is that I had Eclipse 3.3 running when I tried out the AWN dock recently, and the nicer icon magically appeared in the dock! Where did it come from, and why doesn't it look that way when I create a custom launcher for Eclipse with icon.xpm as the icon?
