But now, that I have seen so clearly, what I am supposed to provide as a
developer (concerning icons), I'll try to make mkusb like that. So I
install two icons,

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/mkusb.svg
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/mkusb.png

This is tested now in the unstable PPA

-----
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mkusb

# if you want mkusb-nox
sudo apt-get install mkusb-nox

# or if you want both mkusb and mkusb-nox
sudo apt-get install mkusb mkusb-nox

If you have changed so much in ToriOS (from Ubuntu), that

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/unstable

does not work, it worked with manual editing in the current ToriOS
installed system, add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list

-----
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mkusb/unstable/ubuntu precise main

Please try it, and tell me if/what/how it works for you!

Best regards
Nio
