Just wanted to thank both Sean and JC for the pointers, and comment on what I ended up doing.

There were only 3 non-blinking gifs:
The nb-<color>.gif files Sean points out are *just* like the ones from BigBroPro, so I mv'd the old {red,yellow,purple}.gif files out of the way and symlinked them to the nb-{red,yellow,purple}.gif files, and everyone was happy (and system resources to display the constant blinking dropped to a much lower consumption level.)

There are also other icons available at https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/addons that could be used.
The "LED Themes" by Malcolm Hunter, from the "addons" wiki which JC mentioned has a nice, professional looking set of icons (both "Modern" and "Classic" shaped "LEDs". Sadly, these still have "blinking" for the "*-recent.gif" files, so they look nice, but don't act nicely when viewed remotely.
I guess I'll just live with the standard Xymon devilishly winking red-recent.gif, and strange three-eyed green-recent.gif files to keep showing the "ages" of the states.
Thanks again...
