Any footprint with a single pin would do. You can use the "thermal" tool
to connect the pin to the ground plane.

1) move the single pin on the ground plane (does not connect yet)
2) select the thermal tool
3) select the layer the ground plane is on
4) left mouse button click on the pin=20
	--> the pin should now connect to the ground plane.

Alternatively, you can use a track to connect the pin to the ground
plane:
1) uncheck
	Settings =E2=86=92 New_lines_arcs_clear_polygons=20
2) draw a track from the pin into the ground plane. Because of step 1
the track will connect to the ground plane

3) reactivate=20
	Settings =E2=86=92 New_lines_arcs_clear_polygons
With this setting tracks cut through polygons rather than connect to
them. most of the time, this is the preferred behaviour.


Symbols and footprints:

The default lib contains:
	http://www.gedasymbols.org/footprints/m4lib/SIP1.fp

My section in gedasymbols includes:
	http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/kaimartin_knaak/footprints/connectors/pin_=
headers/1x1PIN.fp

On the schematic I'd put:
	http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/kaimartin_knaak/symbols/connectors/con_1x1=
.sym


Hope that helps.
