[ubuntu-art] Update-notifier icon

[Kenneth Wimer]

Hi Étienne,

My suggestion to change the icon would be to "humanize" a tango icon:

http://tango.freedesktop.org/static/cvs/tango-icon-theme/scalable/apps/system-software-update.svg

It seems like a decent metaphor although I am not sure how well it would work 
at 16x16. That is the best thing about the current icon -it works well at 
very small sizes.

Bye,
Ken
