While it should be possible, it is not the sort of thing we react strongly in favor of upstream. We value our independance from gnome. If this icon can be pulled without linking against gnome (as the proxy settings or the browser stuff can be) then it is possible we would accept it in that form.
There are issues though, how to control it (as some gnome users would want different icons for different accounts) being the biggest of them. -- avatars in gaim https://launchpad.net/bugs/50773 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
