In Squeak 4.2-10966 I tried loading Morphic-MAD.508 from the Inbox.
Got a MNU, MenuIcons class(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #openIconContents

Are there some pre-requisites I'm missing?

I liked the previous red debug icon, and the 3D look of the old push pin so was wondering if there were some icon set options available now.
