 In Vidalia alpha Git branch, the src/vidalia/res/32x32/hide.png icon is
 licensed under the "CC Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike" license
 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/). In my understanding,
 the non-commercial bit makes non-free, at least according to the Debian
 Free Software Guidelines.

 I'd like to go on shipping Vidalia in Debian main (and I'm 200% sure
 weasel would not want to distribute a non-free one on torproject.org), so
 this icon should be replaced.

 Here are 4 possibly suitable replacements I've found on my Debian unstable
 system:

 - in the gnome-shell-common package:
   /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/ws-switch-arrow-down.svg
 - in the oxygen-icon-theme package:
   /usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/actions/arrow-down.png
 - in the nuvola-icon-theme package:
   /usr/share/icons/nuvola/32x32/actions/arrow-down.png
   /usr/share/icons/nuvola/32x32/actions/arrow-down-double.png

 All these icons are shipped in Debian main, so have DFSG-free licenses.

 Note that I've informed chiiph a few months ago, but he probably would not
 mind some help.

 Also note that no released version of Vidalia ships this icon TTBOMK: only
 Git is affected.
