Placing the attached ssh.desktop in /usr/share/applications and ssh.png
in /usr/share/pixmaps will accomplish this.  The icon is a rough cut
edited from the webpage, upstream probably has the original layered .xcf
(or whatever) which can be used to make it "perfect".

It would of course be nice to have a hundred translations as with the
other .desktop entries, but I'm not quite comfortable enough with my
French or Japanese to do that; once you put these in (and/or send them
upstream), people will probably volunteer such things.

Haven't done this yet, will do soon.
