Summary: new icon for Gnome System Monitor is confusing
Product: Ubuntu
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: gnome-system-monitor
AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
ReportedBy: thesicktwist at hotmail.com
QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com
I just installed Ubuntu Breezy Badger Colony 3 and the Gnome System Monitor icon
is a little ambiguous. In English, a "monitor" can mean a device that gives
feedback about resources or a piece of computer hardware used to display visual
output. The icon looks like the latter but is meant to represent the former.
This may seem trite, but as an experienced Ubuntu user I was still thrown
off-guard to read the word "monitor" and see a picture of a hardware monitor.
The first thing that came to mind when I saw this is "Oh, this must be a new
tool for configuring the display.", which obviously this is not.
