Well, but wdm is not installed by default, and I have never heard of it before. I would consider it a failed advocacy effort :-) I have just installed that port on 4.8-STABLE, and got an ugly Penguin face on my screen!! Thanks, but even XFree86 globe is better for me. After that I had a look at the Beastie pixmap provided by the wdm port. Well.... I fully admit that the one I proposed before is far from perfection, but it looks much better anyway. And, BTW, I deinstalled wdm port. That's not something I want to have on my machine. I hope that Marshall Kirk McKusick will give us the permission to use the picture in this case.
