Bug Description

We recently updated a new icon for apport in bug 1079639.
But apparently the svg of icon is not being handled properly and artefacts are seen in:
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-26-at-20.15.29.png

The icon has several layers, which creates the white patches when not parsed properly by either the launcher or gtk. (should be displayed as > https://launchpadlibrarian.net/148354254/apport-final.png )
The real error is not with apport, but fixing it here is easier than hunting for where the real issue might be. It is also a known issue that gtk can't render properly certain types of layers/styles in the svg. So using png files might be the only fix.

Please replace the svgs used in the current package with the attached exported PNGs
