Hi,

very minor wish:

rename the GRASS desktop icon to be "GRASS GIS" not just "GRASS".
It's a bit more informative to new users and is more consistent with the
"Quantum GIS" icon.

thanks,
Hamish

Comment (by hamish):

Also, perhaps rename the "OSGeo4W" icon to be "OSGeo4W shell" or so.
i.e. say what it does. To a new user it is just a jumble of numbers and
letters which leads them to a DOS prompt (which they probably have no idea
about as well).

... and "msys" to "msys UNIX prompt" or so ...

("bash prompt" is probably rather unhelpful to windows users)
