I understand the BZ point that having an icon that is modelled on a
computer monitor is pretty awful, since that's abuse for so many
different things.

That said, I do think our current icon is really awful and would
welcome a replacement.

My concern with Ian's suggested icon is that I thought it refered
to GNOME Boxes, so while I applaud your effort, I don't think we
could go with that.

I think perhaps we could do with a logo that is completely abstract,
and distinctive, and not attempt to relate it to a messy computer/virt
concept directly.

Regards,
Daniel
