But it's also not quite enough information.  There are four states that
need to be distinguished:

- Not Private  (the "X")
- Unverified   (the "?")
- Private      (the checkmark)
- Finished     (the "do not enter")

I also wanted to stay away from the padlock to mean "private", since
most apps use it to mean "encrypted", which is a weaker notion that's
more like our "unverified".  But that could just be semantic games on my
part that no one else cares about.

But if someone donates some good-looking xpms for these four states, I'd
be happy to take a look.  They should have a transparent background, and
be around 20x20.  [The current ones are 24x24, and are a little too
large.]

And note that neither Nikita nor I is at Cal any more; we've both
graduated.  ;-)
