[Tango-artists] Looking for new icon for FileRoller

[Steven Garrity]

I wonder if we can get away from the "steam roller" metaphor? I realize 
that it ties in to the title of the application, but it doesn't mean a 
whole lot (flatten your files...?).

Perhaps it should tie in to the box icon used for packages somehow?

Thoughts?
