How to change the panel icon?

[AuntieParticle]

For some reason when I updated from RH9 to FC1 I lost me Red Hat Icon
and now have the Gnome Foot :( I see there is talk about creating a new
Icon for this purpose so I am assuming there is some way to change it. I
would be happy to go back to the Red Hat for the time being... or
anything thing other than the foot. I seem to be able to change all
other icons on the panel but that one. Can someone tell me how to change it?

Thanks,
AP

I believe it is here
/usr/share/pixmaps/redhat-main-menu.png

But if you just do a
locate redhat-main-menu.png
and then change all of the icons you find there until it changes, then that 
will get the job done as well.

I think I figured out what happened. I went to the redhat-main-menu.png 
and it is the same one I used to see on my panel. So, I thought 
something might have happen to change it to the gnome foot when I 
changed to a different desktop theme after ungrading to FC1. I changed 
back to the bluecurve theme and restarted the desktop and my RedHat icon 
is back. It's just a little odd that I used to switch themes in HR9 all 
the time and this never happened before.

There is no discussion to change the icon.  See:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-December/msg00415.html

Several people have volunteered to contribute alternate hats, some red, 
some blue, some green, some grey, some black, some purple, some with 
feathers -- and a few purple ones with feathers of varying colors 
(yellow, red, white, etc.), too.  I've seen many variations... even with 
a few drawn using XPaint.

There isn't a need to change it, however.  The red fedora makes sense, 
as this is, after all, Fedora... and it's a Fedora.

So, for the time being, it is what it is.  (:

(It should probably be customizable, but that's another matter entirely.)

This is the message that sent me here...

Red with purple hat band and feather would be nice too....

The only reason I see for changing it would be "just for fun", which I 
think is sort of a Linus Torvalds* */Linux way of thinking, and I like 
it :)

Okay, it a pretty attractive hat. A lot better than the gnome foot, in 
my opinion.

An easily customizable choice, link the "properties" button when right 
clicking panel launcher icons would be wonderful.... then we could all 
have a new hat every week if we wanted it.
