Comment 12 for bug 406377

@Ezra Morris: No! its not safe.
I'v tried to convince the gvfs authors that the separate icons are needed for users to distinguish the states quicker , but they believe it is not needed. So I havent reported it upstream, since it might eventually endup being a wont fix.

This is actually an upstream bug , you might want to report it upstream. Not sure if ubuntu will carry a patch for this.
 You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream. Thanks in advance!
