sorry, that doesnt help me much... searching for the files using mc

actually this did help, but the file search in mc is useless...


for anyone else,

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/18x18/hildon/
contains: general_wlan, statusarea_internetconnection_no

which are the small wlan status icons as shown below

(i have changed mine to black- see photo)
next is alarm and usb icons
