Bug Description

Binary package hint: adept

I took a Kubuntu 8.04 Beta Live CD to a friend, just to show him how easy Linux can be nowadays. We fiddled around around for some time, everything worked flawlessly. All of a sudden he said : "Look, there is an error message!", pointing to the adept-notifier-icon.
I usually dont pay this much attention to the icon in the tray, but on second thoughts i think he is right.
The icon shows a red exclamation mark, which is normally reserved for an error message. I am not sure, if thats the intention here, if there are updates available, i wouldnt consider this to be an error.
Maybe something less scary like a question mark or an "i" for info would be better?

The notifier icon in update-notifier-kde (adept notifier's replacement in Intrepid) is much less scary/more mild.
