+1 I know that for myself I sometimes plod along with the development version of Ubuntu not really knowing where we are with alpha/betas because my system is always being updated. Perhaps some text on the backdrop in the corner - in the same way you see the build number of a Windows pre-release system, as well as having a nice funky image to talk about / oggle at? > In addition, there is an app that needs an icon :-) The hardware and software > testing app/suite needs a panel icon so that a user can intiate a test.

Other suggestions from around the office include "gears/cogs" of some kind - wihch I know in GNOME is already used for launchers on the panel. Alternatively some kind of medical testing - taking the metaphor too far - test tubes or flasks. Cheers, Al.
