Description Nick Edgar CLA 2001-10-10 22:32:58 EDT 
Rather than using * to indicate dirty state in an editor's tab, it would be nicer
to use an icon.   The * is just so "TTY".

For example, the same disk icon used for Save on the toolbar,
shrunken down to a quarter of its current size, and coloured red.
This could be overlayed on the icon for the file type.

This is minor.
The star is probably better for accessibility anyway.
