[Bug 80702] Keyboard indicator flags are missing

[Shlomi Israel]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: human-icon-theme

Hello,

Gnome's keyboard-indicator applet, has a hidden feature, which allows
countries' flags to be shown instead of simple text such as "us".

The option is availabe via gconf:
‎/apps/gswitchit/Applet/showFlags

This feature can enhance the usability for the gnome desktop alot in my
opinion. It's quite difficult most of the time, to locate the applet
with your eyes, so you need to search for it. Using a flag image helps
finding it almost immedietly.

The main problem with this feature is that the flags are missing in the
default Icon theme (or any other theme). So the user has to download it
himself (and edit the images so they will be in the correct dimensions).

Flags can be downloaded from here:
http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/sodipodi/sodipodi-flags-1.6.tar.bz2

** Affects: human-icon-theme (Ubuntu)
