           Summary: Alt-Tab `switcher' window shows wrong icon for root
                    terminal.
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: metacity
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: ralph at inputplus.co.uk

The `switcher' window that appears in the middle of the screen when
doing Alt-Tab window cycling displays an icon per window.  If I've open
a `Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal' and an `Applications ->
System Tools -> Root Terminal' both icons in the switcher appear the
same.

However, their icons on the menu are different.  root's has a `#' prompt
instead of a `>'.  (Isn't `>' DOS BTW?  I'd have expected `$'.)  And if
I add them to the panel for easy access the small icons that appear
there are also distinguishable, although the root `monitor' is
physically smaller for some reason.

I think the switcher icons should reflect the icons used elsewhere;  I
went looking for the `#' icon to see how far I had to tab and it wasn't
there.
