Thanks for that! Optipng is a new to me, certainly a useful tool to have
around. The cropped-swirls however, might as well be indexed... reduced
the size to 5.1K.

The idea is to have a rich but fairly small center graphic (debian
GNU/Linux in this case) possibly with alpha channel and good colours on
top of a lightweight repeated image. This means two calls to the server
but if used cleverly you can save considerable bandwith.
