I am not sure that the script itself (frosty-logo.scm) is the culprit. The script generates different results in 1.0.x and 1.1.x or later because the Sparkle plug-in was modified in some early 1.1.x version. One solution would be to modify the Frosty script and find a combination of parameters that can generate more or less the same results as in 1.0.x. Another solution would be to modify the Sparkle plug-ins so that it generates the same output as before. A link to some images comparing an early 1.1.x version (before the changes in the Sparkle plug-in) and the 1.2.x version can be found in bug #51010. Note: the sparkle plug-in has some bugs related to the usage of selections, as described in bug #50911. However, the Frosty script clears the selection before calling the Sparkle plug-in, so these two bugs are only indirectly related (if at all).

We tried to make it more similar by fixing the used plugin (sorry, forgot the name :)) though I don't believe this is really a problem.
The frosty.scm script included with 1.2.3 produces a resulty not too far from the one mentioned in bug #51010 (refered above). Maybe we can close this bug report?
The results generated by the Frosty script (and the Sparkle plug-in) in 1.2.3 and 1.2.4-pre2 are still far from the nice results that could be obtained earlier, IMHO. Even after playing with the various parameters, I cannot reproduce the same results as in versions 1.0.x and 1.1.x. I will attach the reference image supplied by Peter Bergt in bug #51010 to this bug report so that it is not lost if Peter's web site disappears.

Changes at the request of Dave Neary on the developer mailing list. I am changing many of the bugzilla reports that have not specified a target milestone to Future milestone. Hope that is acceptable.
