Sorry, gnome-panel does need gnome-icon-theme-symbolic for the upstream user menu. You are correct that gnome-panel in Ubuntu currently ships the "indicator" status menus like Unity instead of the user menu but it is still available for people to use.
A different theme can provide alternative icons by providing: user-available-symbolic user-busy-symbolic user-idle-symbolic user-invisible-symbolic I'm closing this bug since I don't believe this breaks third-party themes and this dependency is necessary for some functionality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1093938 Title: gnome-panel should not have hard dependency to gnome-icon-theme- symbolic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/1093938/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
