True, in fact I think it is important to have distinctive icons but all
kind of homogeneous. Reusing elements of other icons (done for some) is not
such a great idea. coping a whole already present icon and add a camera is
maybe not such a good idea.

it is a 26px by 26 pixel icon, you cant really fit much stuff in it.
Current script icon is a terminal that suggest a scripting. Is it really
necessary to tell that it is a python scripting?

cheers
Fabrizio
