I have to say I like Jimmac's a lot better except that I agree with you 
on the overuse of 3d effects.  I think that flattening the value and 
saturation ranges on the globe a bit and emphasising perspective less 
on the shadow would make it a bit better.
I've cobbled together a mockup, it also has a slight green filter 
(Closest to "green medium" in the 32 colour palette [ 
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/layout.html#Palette ], 
grain merge ~20%) on the globe.  I think it might be little too green 
(so much so as to be too far out from the HIG palette), and maybe I 
skimped on the perspective a little too much (and didn't pull the 
shadow "forwards" far enough) but other than that is an improvement 
(and seems to fit well with other gnome icons)...
