[Design-team] Ticket #101, Request for new system-config-kickstart icon

[Bryan Nielsen]

I did a bit more work on the robot claw/hand for the smaller icons but
I've got to say, I have a lot of respect for the talent of those who
create these small icons. :)

r2.png through r6.png are some attempts at creating a starting point
for a robot hand/claw that will be visible in the small icons.
