EMI has released a Christmas compilation album called "It's Christmas".
Kate's December Will Be Magic Again was the only track that caught
my attention. Having the original single I didn't buy it, yet.

December issue of VOX has a full page ad of This Woman's Work boxed set.
This was the first time I saw the new KT symbol. It looks better than I
could imagine. I hope I'll be able to buy it one of these days.

There's also back catalogue ads of Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance.

I can't help you with X Windows, but I made a Windows 3 background from one 
of the Gaffa gifs (This Woman's Work EP cover photo). I converted it first
into .pcx format and then into .bmp with Windows Paintbrush.
