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 Desktop Packages, 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 Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 1. An icon theme file should not be a hard dependency. How would a different icon theme provide alternate icons? 2. The 4 symbolic icons referred to are part of the now-defunct User menu, which no longer draws the icons anyway: static GtkWidget * panel_menu_item_presence_new (......) { ...... #if 0 if (use_icon) { GtkWidget *image; image = gtk_image_new_from_icon_name (icon, panel_menu_icon_get_size ()); gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (item), image); } #endif To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/1093938/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
