This is exactly the point. What's the point in a UI coordinator, who
at least tries to keep things consistent, when noone is going to
listen to him?
However, there is one more role of a coordinator - to try and solve
all arguings arising between developers / ppl working on graphics.

So, if you (Ged vs. mf) finally can't work together at all, I would
better take a small break then, to re-think what's wrong and what's
right. And yes, it should be fun, otherwise what's the point of
working on this at all?

I tried to regulate this somehow, but it looks like not enough steam
was off from both Ged and mf, and all this resulted into a ros-dev
flamewar.
And developers themselves haven't decided - GreatLord wants the icon
removed for some unknown reason, someone else wants the icon to stay,
also without a reason.

Why I wanted a UI coordinator, is because HE should solve SUCH
questions [in a more or less diplomatic way :) ].

I will think more what can be done on this topic.
