And just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...

Call me slow on the uptake. It only took me five weeks to figure out why gwt has been showing the generic www icon instead of my real favicon.

74.125.nnn.nnn - - [01/May/2011:01:03:24 -0700] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 403 476 "-" "-"

74.125.nnn.nnn - - [05/Jun/2011:19:14:19 -0700] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 403 908 "-" "-"

So they've got a special favicon-getting robot that's so far down the hierarchy, they couldn't even be bothered to give it a name.
