OK: a) that means some icons will change function, fairly unexpectedly because other icons *won't* change function b) we don't have the infrastructure to do this properly for each function (trust me, this has been a massive topic of discussion around ISV issues at the OSDL DTL event) c) we don't have the infrastructure to make the changed state obvious in the user interface, contributing to (a) Making the effect and purpose obvious is tightly related in this case, and we can't do it properly. - Jeff -- Ubuntu USA & Europe Tour: Oct-Nov 2005 http://wiki.ubuntu.com/3BT "Once this door opens, happiness waits for us.
