Yes, I agree. The "console-like" icon is definetly better.
I created that icon to just replace the original MSYS icon used in msys.bat 
shortcuts and in rxvt.exe (manually hacked)
I choosed the simple "M" way, because when used as 16 px icon (as usual in 
MS Windows title bars) is definetely more readable than a more complicated 
(but better) graphic icon.
This said, I definetely agree that, for the GRASS Toolbox command "GRASS 
Shell", the attacched icon is a lot better; but when the command is 
launched, the msys.bat (and rxvt.exe) file is called, showing the "big M" 
icon, against the original MSYS one; just that :-)

Regards,

Marco
