Thanks for this contribution!

I have three questions:

1. Where did the icons come from?
2. Also, what is passed2.png? It's not referenced anywhere.
3. Are there larger icons? Yes you dropped it from 22px to 16px.

Sure --

1. from a designer friend that granted free use for them in open source projects
2. just an alternate form of "passed" -- i couldn't decide which one i liked
3. i can create them, but the 22x22 is actually too big for the bottom bar (at 
least on OS X) and looks kind of goofy. by dropping to 16x16 it fits a little 
better.

Thanks for your quick reply. 
I also don't like the existing icons by the way (and I made them.) But we 
needed something...

I spoke with some folks and it was made clear to me that for those icons can be 
accepted I need a contributor agreement.

enseAgreements

And even then I'd need to know the actual source, and here's why. Pretend, that 
someone made a claim that this project contained their work without their 
permission. My best argument would be "Someone said their friend said they were 
free for use." Now consider instead that my argument was "Joe said he made them 
and gave us permission."

So if your friend made them, I'd think in the end, I'd need your friend to sign 
the CLA.

But that's kind of a lot, isn't it? I think perhaps the easiest thing would be 
to find out if there are some icons that Google has which I can use. Ones that 
don't look as amateurish as the ones I made.

Anyway, that's a lot to chew on. Let me know your thoughts, and thanks again 
for your contribution!
