Changing panel icons.. help?

[DaveDH]

When I move my laptop between work/home/work etc. I have to manually toggle the network proxy each time.

I wrote a script to do this and created an icon on the gnome panel to run it:

#!/bin/bash
# Toggle the status of the network proxy

if [ $(gconftool-2 -g /system/proxy/mode) = "none" ]; then
gconftool-2 -s -t string /system/proxy/mode auto
echo "Proxy is now AUTO"
else
gconftool-2 -s -t string /system/proxy/mode none
echo "Proxy is now OFF"
fi
exit 0

BUT, I would ideally like the icon to indicate the status of the proxy.

Is there any way from a script to change the icon that is shown on the panel?

Thought I'd post a slight update as the script above is not complete. This one works well, and in leu of a change of icon I have changed the panel link to 'Run in Terminal' and updated the script to display it's setting for 3 seconds.

#!/bin/bash
# Toggle the status of the network proxy

if [ $(gconftool-2 -g /system/proxy/mode) = "none" ]; then
gconftool-2 -s -t string /system/proxy/mode auto
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy true
echo "Proxy is now AUTO"
else
gconftool-2 -s -t string /system/proxy/mode none
gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy false
echo "Proxy is now OFF"
fi
