Dear maintainers,

The *Warnings* buffer uses the same "stop" sign for "warning" and
"error" level warnings. This makes it hard to quickly scan the buffer
for actual errors.

I attach a patch that uses a different icon for "warning" than for
"error" or "emergency".

All the best,
Protesilaos (or simply "Prot")
