Hmm. When I suggested top right corner, I was thinking of something like
Netscape (big icon) - which is obviously not in the menubar. Ooops.
If the icon is going to be that small, what about following
Waldo's idea ? -> it's an indicator, it should be in the statusbar.

Transparency will have to be worked on too (black doesn't look too good)

Thanks for looking into this, in any case !
