Hi, just wanted to add that i think the Tango icon would, or does (http://tango.freedesktop.org/static/cvs/tango-icon-theme/16x16/apps/system-software-update.png) not work on a small size. I also think the metaphor of the Tango icon is not optimal. I like the "recycle-arrows", but i am afraid that some people could misinterprete the "internet-metaphor" (globe to a cable) with something concerning their internet connection. Something like "you are online" or some internet-settings things.. I have to say that i am used to the small orange "a new star is born"-icon (good metaphor (?)). Maybe a combination of the "recycle-arrows" and the clear visible layout of the current icon would be worth trying.
