There are 80 apps in main and universe that put icons in the panel.  
We are looking into defining exactly which icons are used and how  
they need to be treated. My first attempt will be to use imagemagick  
to re-color these icons monochrome (with slight use of color for some  
icons).

We'll work on creating a design spec, getting it signed off and out  
into the public asap.
