Bug Description

I'm running Dapper testing and have tango-icon-theme 0.7.1-0ubuntu3 installed.

When the panel is resized and the Tango icon theme is active, the icon for the volume applet changes from a PNG icon to an SVG icon. Currently the PNG audio volume icons in the tango-icon-theme package differ in appearance from the SVG audio volume icons in the same package.

I do not think that it is visually appealing or intuitive to a user for an applet's icon to change appearance when its panel is being resized. Ideally, the icon's appearance should remain the same but it should scale with the panel.

If the PNG and SVG icons in the Tango theme are meant to be visually distictive then this bug is actually with the Volume applet or the panel itself (the applet's icon should not switch between a theme's SVG and PNG icons). However, if the PNG and SVG icons in a theme are supposed to look the same then this bug is with tango-icon-theme and the following icons are affected:
