Change quit icon to use power icon from the desktop

This is a request from sabdfl. We should assess the impact of this change before making it. Impact includes:
 - development effort
 - schedule risk
 - regression risk
 - doc churn
 - marketing churn

Subscribed release team in case exceptions are necessary.

Assigned to mobile team, to get their input, and because they'll do the update.

  - development effort

The icon you want to have is /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/actions/system-shutdown.svg, shipped in gnome-icon-theme. If UNR ships gnome-icon-theme, then just patch your panel to use this icon name (shoudl be an one-line change). If you don't ship gnome-icon-theme, then copy that icon to your panel package, perhaps rename it, and use that icon name.

So in either case, the development effort is very small, something like half an hour.

  - schedule risk
  - regression risk

Replacing an icon name is not an intrusive code-wise, so I am not concerned about this, with my release hat on. Please do get this change in before the final freeze next Thursday, though, to avoid rebuilding images just for this.

  - doc churn

Does not impact Ubuntu desktop, but possibly existing screenshots in UNR documentation. I'll subscribe the documentation team, and also drop a mail to their ML to warn them about this issue.

  - marketing churn

Out of my area of expertise, but I expect this to be very low.

I think it's a change in netbook-launcher:
src/launcher-sidebar.c:1147:
  shortcut = launcher_shortcut_new ("gtk-quit",
                                    _("Quit..."),
                                    FALSE);

I believe the correct icon is:
#define PANEL_ICON_LOGOUT "system-log-out"

The doc team don't yet have any UNR specific documentation.

Loic,

no, system-log-out is the running stylized green man in gnome-icon-theme, and the _red_ power button in human icon theme. In comment 2, Rick attached an icon which is gnome-icon-theme's system-shutdown.

When Mark notified me of this bug, he mentioned replacing the current icon with the red quit icon from the human theme. I am just confirming with him which icon should be used.

The correct place to change it is in Loic's first comment, launcher_shortcut_new ("gtk-quit", foo, bar) would need to be changed. Once we know the correct icon, do you want me to roll a new netbook-launcher release, or will it be patched in the packaging?

(unsubscribed ubuntu-doc from this as per comment 7)

Martin, note that I didn't mean the running man but the red power button; that is:
/usr/share/icons/Human/24x24/actions/system-log-out.png
(BTW this file is broken: /usr/share/icons/Human/scalable/actions/system-log-out.png)

I don't mind either icon: neither of them matches the available options in the desktop anyway; I just thought the red power button was more in the same colors as UNR and was more Ubuntu ish as it's more visibleon the desktop.

For the icon which Rick mentionned, the correct name is "system-shutdown".

Yes, I confirm /usr/share/icons/Human/24x24/actions/system-log-out.png is the one I meant (red and white power button).

Thanks,
Mark

I've rolled a new release with the icon name change: https://edge.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-launcher/+download (1.6.19).

Steve K. is currently dealing with updating Jaunty to the previous release (1.6.18), which contained some very important translation fixes, so updating Jaunty to this release of netbook-launcher would take care of that too.

Actually we do have UNR documentation (Bug #340246), I've been working on it for a couple of weeks but the branch is on my account until I've found a way to integrate it with the current ubuntu-doc package.

As the docs are at a very early stage and we use description rather than images, this is easily rectified from out perspective.

attached actual correct icon, just because I'm paranoid

Sounds like a go from marketing.

Message from Gerry Carr:

We more slowly change printed docs and where it is featured, if at all,
will change on next rev.

<snip />

we will try and feature or will quickly replace the 'wrong' icon when we
can.

This bug was fixed in the package netbook-launcher - 1.6.19-0ubuntu1
