All the places where we show a GNOME foot should be themed, so just
changing the icon theme should work. If this is not the case, then it's
a bug, I'd say.

(that's actually why you don't see the GNOME foot in Fedora, I think)

If we were to change the logo (or adopt a mascot), I'd propose a sea
turtle. No idea why, except that I like it :-)

That being said, it's kind of hard to change something like this,
especially since many people are emotionally attached to the GNOME
foot...
