Thanks, Charles.

** Description changed:

- (It's good that indicator-sync is visible now, so I'm sorry to log a bug
- right away. ;)
- 
  The 'cloud' icon for indicator-sync makes some internal sense, but many
  users have some kind of weather indicator running.  These often show a
  cloud in the panel.  That behavior makes sense, too, and is pretty
  established.  Unfortunately, that makes this icon for indicator-sync too
- ambiguous.  I hope that something else can be chosen.  (I can't say that
- I have any particularly good ideas about what, right now.)
+ ambiguous.  I hope that something else can be chosen.
+ 
+ I've seen graphics for 'the cloud', with elements representing network
+ connections, wires or arrows or other things, with a cloud as the
+ background.  I think a cloud behind some other clear graphic would
+ probably not be ambiguous.  So I'm not arguing "there must be no puffy
+ clouds whatsoever!"  A cloud on its own, that, I'm concerned about.
  
  Thanks.
