Bug Description

Would be nice if gnome-about.desktop would be themable, all that has to be done for this is the removal of the absolute path to distributor-logo.png. After this, we can add a themed GNOME icon to Tangerine, which better fits Ubuntu's new icons than the current one, perhaps something like http://jimmac.musichall.cz/wipicons/Tango-Apps/22x22/gnome.png

In addition to that, the window icon from "gnome-about" should also use the icon from the icon theme.

Thanks for your bug. This upload fixes the issue:

 gnome-desktop (2.14.1.1-0ubuntu2) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/patches/02_gnome-about-icon.patch:
     - don't force the icon path nor format (Ubuntu: #41468)

I'm not sure that we should use a non-official GNOME logo for the about GNOME entry, the icon looks fine with the current theme

(Vincent I Cced you but that's a distribution patch ... maybe upstream could change to use the GNOME foot for that?)

Changed in gnome-desktop:
assignee: nobody → desktop-bugs
status: Unconfirmed → Fix Released

It'd make sense to use the foot upstream, but I'm afraid it won't look well if the foot is still used as icon for the menubar/menu.
