Interesting observation DanRabbit! I think this could go either way. If
I change my theme to something with a different distributor-logo icon, I
might find it a bug that this dialog does NOT use the new logo I picked,
depending on my expectations. What if I just used a theme with a
different Ubuntu logo that I like better? Why shouldn't it use that?

Generally I think Ubuntu should let the user do what they want. If you
want to adopt Fedora's theme which includes Fedora's distro icon, it
should use that. A good real use-case of this is mac4lin, where users
want the OS to display the Apple logo. If you want the Fedora theme but
want Ubuntu's logo, then you should put Ubuntu's logo into that theme.

In other words, if you are using a theme but don't agree with all the
icons in it, just change the icons in the theme so that the theme is
what you want, instead of trying to force applications to explicitly
deny what the user explicitly asked for. I don't want my OS to ignore
what I ask of it (such as using a new distributor-logo), and that's why
I use Ubuntu and not another OS.

Do you disagree?
