If you think the control panel will get even +10% more addictive, you
should consider this ;-)

Keep it in mind and fix it as soon as you see how to fix it; it'll

I don't see the icon any more! Is it broken?

will update this icon with a better one when Oxygen is snipped out of
cvs as a separate download)
