Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

As you can see from the attached image, several icons in the network-manager menu are missing - instead I'm seeing a small red sign.

Another issue is the fact that a VPN connection IS established (see the menu on the right, whihc shows I'm connected to Charite via VPN), yet the icon shows only a "wireless" connection, with no "lock" icon.

This seems to be caused by the fact we had to ship new icons for nm-applet since the indicators can't use pixmaps as icons (where they would be composited), and need to use actual icons from the theme or stock icons. We already ship new icons with the ubuntu-mono icon set, but I guess there are some more missing for Humanity and other themes.

I'll mark this one for humanity, but could you still confirm which icon theme you are using so that a bug can be opened against that one too?
Thanks in advance!

@Mathieu , While it is understandable that we had to ship new icons in Ubuntu to compensate for the overlay/composite problem, this breaks _every_ other icon theme (including gnome-icon-theme) and also for _all_ downstream derivatives if they ship with this patch.(derivatives do not use ubuntu-mono as the icon theme)

There are two ways to fix this:
1: the patch should implement fallbacks so that if the '*-secure' icons are not prosent in the theme, they should look for the default icon names. (this is not ideal, since it does not show the secure lock, but atleast better than broken icons)

2: The ideal way to fix this is to include tango based icons along with the patch, which the nm-patch should install in the '/usr/share/icons/hicolor' folder. This way every other icon theme does not have to create new icons just because of this patch.
This is how /all/ apps do when they introduce new icon names which are not default icon names included in gnome-icon-theme.

Setting this to 'high' for nm since this breaks derivatives and all other icon themes.

Right. network-manager-gnome currently ships
  /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-signal-00.png
  /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-signal-25.png
  /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-signal-50.png
  /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-signal-75.png
  /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-signal-100.png
and so it should also ship the -secure versions of these icons now that it requires them.

(Reassigning to network-manager-applet, which is a separate source package.)

network-manager (Ubuntu Natty) → network-manager-applet (Ubuntu Natty)

Yes, we'll ship fallback icons with nm-applet, but themes still need to build new icons if they want them to look right in their own design / look and feel.
