[Bug 60424] Re: GTK default icons used in several places

[Andreas Nilsson]

I agree that it's a bit silly to belive that every app is going to conform to the HIG about button labeling, but I think our approach should be to try to clean them out where we can. I'm going to file a bug against gnome-app-install right away. Anyone want to help tracking it down in other applications?
Regarding the do-action-icon, isn't the most likley action selected by default in most apps already?
As you have specific verbs for almost every dialog, I'm not sure it's a good idea to add icons to it as it would mean a dozen icons for every application, and we're low on artists, I would rather make sure as many application icons as possible follow the style guidelines first. I also think that the verb in itself should be so good that you don't have to use a picture to get the message across.
Sorry for sounding like a ass and shooting your ideas down, but I really think we should try to get smarter with icon usage, because the current situation is horrible.
