See comment #3 of http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/110

I am also glad to see the new icon. Because it reflects the official  
and recent icon change of X.org. But on Apple desktops it should  
confirm the Apple Human Interface Guidelines:

Creating Icons for Mac OS X v10.5 and Later
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGIcons/chapter_15_section_8.html#/ 
/apple_ref/doc/uid/20000967-SW1

What is lacking to this icon, is a 265x265 pixel version and a 512x512  
pixel version. This should be catched up. I have already written a  
similar email yesterday to Simone, who made this icon(s) heavily based  
and derived from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/ 
Image:X.Org_Logo.svg , but no reaction so far from her.

The project's website logo on http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki  
should also reflect this icon change, and it should at least match  
with the one Simone has created for the X11 application.
