Maybe you could pop up a message the first time Easy Access is activated
after a reboot. You might change the menu bar to "Easy Access Activated"
to tell users what is causing the trouble.

If easy access is not changed, you should at least remove it from the
default installer script. Just add another script to install it.

If you really want to change the icons, use something along these lines:

	 ***     *     ** **            ***
	*   *   * *    * * *           ** **
	*****  *   *    ***    ** **   *   *
	** **  ** **   * * *     *      * *
	*****   ***    ** **      **     *
	Lock   Shift  Command  Option Control
