Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-pilot

When you open the System > Preferences menu, the gnome-pilot menu icon really draws your eyes for the wrong reasons, it is:

ugly
outdated
out-of-place

This should be replaced both in the menu, and in the application itself (with an icon like this http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gnome-pda.svg).

I have found the icons to be in

/usr/share/gnome-pilot/glade

and

/usr/share/pixmaps

I shall create a debdiff for Jaunty when I have time.

Here is a debdiff for jaunty which makes the 'PalmOS Devices' Menu entry the generic pda icon form gnome-icon-theme.

Tested on Jaunty and it works

Do you think you can forward the patch to upstream too?

the package uses a patch system, could you add your changes in the patches directory rather than changing the source directly?

Yep, here is a working patch that uses dpatch instead

you could perhaps list the patch name in the changelog rather than the directory only? otherwise the change is correct and I will sponsor the update later today
