Perhaps the error (X) or exclamation (!) icon would fit better.

When does this dialog appear?

If it's in response to a specific plugin-related user action, then use the
`error' icon, because it's announcing that what the user wanted to do didn't
work at all. But if it just appears when you visit a Web page, use the `note'
icon (`i' in speech bubble on Windows, face with speech bubble on Mac), because
you're just letting the user know something which isn't that serious.

The `caution' icon (exclamation mark) is for warning you that something might be
dangerous (and giving you a choice of what to do), and that does not apply in
this case.

Not a Netscape 6 RTM blocker. FUTURE. This bug has been marked Future because
the Netscape engineer it is assigned to is overburdened.
