Icon for ‘read-only’ stuff

Dear lazyweb,

Is there any icon for representing ‘read-only’ stuff, that indicates that the thing you are dealing with is read only?

In my case, I’m talking about VNC view-only connections. But the icon could be useful for text editors, for instance.

find /usr/share/icons -name \*readonly\* | xargs gthumb

Isn’t a pencil with a slash through it usually used to signify read-only

Search “emblem-readonly” (named icon from Icon Naming Spec).

You can compare different icon themes here: http://people.freedesktop.org/~jimmac/icons/
