Those icons are a prime example of a patch that should be dropped. :-) Cheers - -- mpt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlBtTkgACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecq2aQCfdsfMNhqCA3eWfz0D3BU8mu4+ SKIAniIsbFFps3qvw7Mt356yPnCsI8yc =4by5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
