I think the OP is trying to assist in this development process by the early
reporting of regressions, rather than actively trying to use an unstable
version for day-to-day use.
Thanks Neil. I can't imagine anyone on this list being unaware that
Vivid is unstable! I have Utopic available on a separate hard-drive as
a dual boot fallback, and all data is synced between the two drives. I
always use the unstable testing version for day-to-day use until it
folds. It is then a simple job to re-install or repair, but I can use
the stable version for regular work.
This way, I can spot and report things like the icon bug which won't
show up on a single testing use such as with testdrive.
With regard to Simon Greenwood's suggestion, icons are stable and OK on
the desktop itself, so I think it unlikely that installing Plank would
help. As always, I am reluctant to deviate from the 'out of the box'
offering so I don't miss any problems that occur within the new
version. If no one has any other suggestions, I'll report it as a Unity
bug, and let someone else move it to an upstream issue if necessary.
Regards, Barry.
