I liked Sam's idea of a paper plane crashing. But rather wanted to focus on the 
reason the window is being displayed to the user - 'to send information'. 
So I used the paper plane as a metaphor to information being sent and used the 
blue color that we use for panel notifications - as in 'a notification about 
information ready to be sent'.

I recall that we needed a new icon for software updater too, so we can
just use the similar paper plane metaphor for updates arriving (not sure
if we are still looking for a new updater icon) - as 'in new updates
arriving'.. ;-) Right now, the shopping bag is the same color as the
software center, but if necessary, we could change it to either green or
blue(wouldnt blue be close to Windows?).
