I believe that this is something you can optionally include in your
project as an icon for the site.  Trac will render <link rel="icon">
tags in the webpages which your browser should use to display the icon
next to the url, the bookmark icon, on tabs, etc.  I think this should
have basically the same effect as the favicon.ico that the p.e.c site
uses (the red and black corner thing).
