After discussion in the bug about magnifier vs. circle-i, I've done a
tentative example of both together. The proposal is to replace this:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/magnify-clip.png

- with something like this:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=4665

(In my experiments, I've found it difficult to make circle-i readable
below about 15x15 px.)

Rather than use the bug for discussion, does the idea of a magnifier
and circle-i together make anyone here throw up? That's not two things
to click on, but one that looks like two, and that goes to the image
page - giving a larger image and info on the photo.
