A TrueCrypt Icon for Ubuntu.

TrueCypt installer for Ubuntu sucks. What good is an installer which doesn't add a shortcut to the Gnome/KDE menus?
Well, we have covered the TrueCrypt experience in Ubuntu earlier. In the end we asked our readers to manually add a shortcut to "/usr/bin/truecrypt". To our horror we found that there is no png files installed, to set as an icon for the shortcut. And what good is a shortcut without an icon? :)
So I broke open the Windows TrueCrypt binary, extracted the icon and converted it into png.
Here it is.

Happy Encrypting.

at work my WinXP desktop shows me not a blue icon but a brown/orange one

If it's possible, please publish the brown/orange icon as well.
Thanks.

I don't recommend to use Truecrypt for linux. It is buggy and i had problems with it in SuSe 10 and Ununtu Gytsy. It hangs when copying large files to/from encrypted partition.

Better use dm-crypt
