I tried making a symbolic icon for this about a week ago already, an attempt
which didn't bear much fruit..
here's a dirty shot at it, i know its not really monochrome yet, but that's
all i have for now..
a killall gnome-panel didn't bring up the new icon, but after restarting it
appeared, thanks for that again!

seeing it in (pseudo-)monochrome inspires me a lot!
