non-blinking icons (nb-red.gif et al) for Xymon status?

Hi Andrew,

I guess I'll just live with the standard Xymon devilishly winking
red-recent.gif, and strange three-eyed green-recent.gif files to keep
showing the "ages" of the states.

Why not just linking or copying the red.gif to red-recent.gif?
Otherwise you can define for how long the dots shall be blinking. In 
xymonserver.cfg just add the option

XYMONGENOPTS="--recentgifs=5"

The the blinking will stop after 5 minutes.
