Bug Description

When I boot the Ubuntu 12.10 Live CD, there is a splash screen with a toolbar, a language picker, and two big buttons "Try Ubuntu" and "Install".

On the toolbar, in the upper right corner, are a number of icons. Two of these are identical, as far as I can tell, although they show different menus when you click on them. I cannot figure out what the items in the rightmost menu mean, but in any event, I would consider it a bug that there is no way to visually discern these two menus.

If you need to explain to someone on the phone how to switch to a non-US keyboard, it's hard enough without the additional confusion of two identical but distinct toolbar icons.

This is on the 12.10 release Live CD, tried both i386 and amd64.

vbvntv$ md5sum ubuntu-12.10-desktop-*
7ad57cadae955bd04019389d4b9c1dcb ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso
b4191c1d1d6fdf358c154f8bf86b97dd ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso

Xubuntu looks different (it doesn't have the toolbar, so no toolbar buttons either.)
