Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-artwork

The /usr/share/icons/Human/48x48/actions/gnome-logout.png icon has been
changed to a power switch to deal with the confusion caused by the
Ubuntu logout dialog.  Unfortunately, this is semantically broken and
the brokenness manifests itself if you have the 'upstream_session' flag
set on your panel config.

I now have a logout and shutdown item in my panel.  The panel correctly
displays the "logout" icon for the logout menu item.  However, the icon
incorrectly shows a power switch (which would be more suitable for the
shutdown item).

Suggested fix:  restore the logout icon to its previous state (ie: the
door with the arrow) and use the new (very pretty, btw) power switch
icon to replace the old power switch icon that is currently used for the
"Shut Down" item (gnome/24x24/apps/gnome-shutdown.png).

If the 'shutdown' idea is what the designers of the new logout dialog
would like to be associated with its entry in the menu then please use
"gnome-shutdown" for this purpose instead of breaking "gnome-logout".

** Affects: ubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
