| | I think you could even link /usr/share/R/doc/html/Rlogo.svg
| | into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/rlogo_icon.svg to let GNOME
| | and others draw an arbitrarily high-resolution icon if the display
| | permits that, but a 48x48 bitmap is still required:
| | 
| | https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html#install_icons
| 
| Yes, had the same idea earlier and tried it, with the original Rlogo.svg
| copied in there under that name -- but I got an 'empty' icon displayed :-/
| (I had also removed the png "to be sure", your more careful suggests it is
| needed as a fallback.)
| 
| When I follow your suggestion to use both it works with new logo (yay) with
| the only minor drawback ... that the white background shows whereas all other
| logos are using transparent background.

Sorry, that was wrong: a leftover from manually installing a new png based on
the svg. So when I have both, the png wins and the svg is seemingly ignored.
So first task would be to create a new (and square !!) 48x48 png from the svg
or higher-res png.

But on a lark, I just went into setting and toggled the icon size from 48
(default) to 36 ... and _voila_ I get a new (no background !!) one drawn
seemingly from the svg.  So the solution appears to be to remove the png.
Will try that later.
