Change:

Switch embedded icon from 128 px² to 256 px² in order to accommodate modern hi-res displays.

... and embed a GIF (v89a) icon in RPMs, but never in XPM (v3) file format!
Background:
XPM is absolutely antiquated (it translates a picture in characters!), results in large file sizes (no built-in compression) and of lower image quality than GIF (though both are "8 bit colour palette plus transparency, with 24 bit colours" formats).
GIF89a is technically much more modern than XPMv3 and rpmbuild only accepts GIF and XPM icons!
