Summary: Ugly and Confusing Menu Icon

Initial Comment:
This bug has been reported here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scim/+bug/321555

The SCIM menu icon is ugly, confusing and looks out of place. It should be replaced with a newer icon, but also one that represents what SCIM does (ie. a button with a foreign character on it).

Attached is a replacement for data/pixmaps which replaces:

http://is.gd/hpZ7
    for
http://is.gd/hpZy

The new icon is better, as it represent a button on a keyboard, but also has a foreign character on it, symbolizing what SCIM does. 

Also attached is a patch which changes extras/setup/scim-setup.desktop.in to use the accessories-character-map icon from the gnome-icon-theme. It is better to use this, rather than the icon in data/pixmaps, because the icon can then resize if featured on a menu with icons larger than 32x32 (default).

Message:
This is not a "Bug Report", so I'll move this to "Feature Request".
And, please post a notice to the scim-devel-list.
I cannot change the design of icons without developers' agreement.
