@Mathieu , While it is understandable that we had to ship new icons in
Ubuntu to compensate for the overlay/composite problem, this breaks
_every_ other icon theme (including gnome-icon-theme) and also for _all_
downstream derivatives if they ship with this patch.(derivatives do not
use ubuntu-mono as the icon theme)

There are two ways to fix this:
1: the patch should implement fallbacks so that if the '*-secure' icons are not 
prosent in the theme, they should look for the default icon names. (this is not 
ideal, since it does not show the secure lock, but atleast better than broken 
icons)

2: The ideal way to fix this is to include tango based icons along with the 
patch, which the nm-patch should install in the '/usr/share/icons/hicolor' 
folder. This way every other icon theme does not have to create new icons just 
because of this patch. 
This is how /all/ apps do when they introduce new icon names which are not 
default icon names included in gnome-icon-theme.

Setting this to 'high' for nm since this breaks derivatives and all
other icon themes.
