> The file at /usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc/images/right-arrow.xpm is a valid pixmap, dimensions 24x24; The :he on 'sign' says that the pixmap must fit in the space of 2 characters; my guifont is set to monaco:w18, so I mangled the original pixmap to generate a shorter character (24x18), although pointing at this file didn't make any difference.

Sorry, that font should be monaco:h18
> I *believe* that at work, where I use gvim under cygwin, the sign displays properly; I'll check that in the morning. Unfortunately, the version of gvim that I have on my Mac is built with -signs, so I can't check it here.
