Why mouse?

Hi!

I'm a semiotician and I'm planning to write an article on a couple of Linux logos. Currently I'm conducting a preliminary research and hence my question:

Are there any particular reasons for choosing the logo? What is the intended meaning and/or associations related to it?

I already had a look at the wiki faq, but a more "verbose" explanation would help me a lot.

Re: Why mouse?

You'll maybe not get an official answer, but here's my guess :

The mouse represents a fast, agile creature, and XFCE aims to put those attributes at your fingertips by way of using the (mouse) pointer.

An homage to the essence of a desktop environment.

;D

Refer to the wiki tongue

What does the logo mean?

A mouse, obviously, for all kinds of reasons like world domination and monsters and such
