Isn't the new alert symbol (an exclamation point in a triangle) in dialog boxes
a misapplication of the international icon for "WARNING"?  The international
icon is meant to apply to warnings of dangerous or even life-threatening
hazards (electrical shock, crush hazard, etc.).  Watering it down to apply
to "Are you sure you want to delete the System file?" situations is bad.
