	Replying to my own message after looking at Adam's image once again (  
http://trac.adiumx.com/browser/trunk/Release/Artwork/dmgBackground.png? 
rev=18186&format=raw ), I think the idea of motion is even clearer than  
I originally thought: they're not arrows but actually a single hand  
that's holding Adiumy and clearly moving him "somewhere", with flying  
feathers all around... what more could anyone do to convey the idea?  
;-)

	But, again, just my thoughts.
