Synchronization dialog improvements

[Bill Wohler]

Greetings. When synchronizing, we're greeted with an extremely jarring dialog. It is jarring and unsettling since it uses an icon that is typically associated with what the GNOME HIG calls a Confirmation Alert [1]:

  Present a confirmation alert when the user's command may destroy their data,
  create a security risk, or take more than 30 seconds of user effort
  to recover from if it was selected in error.

As such, it is never associated with a progress dialog.

If you do wish to have a configuration alert, please present it before the synchronization starts. But I've never seen one associated with a synchronization command.

I would suggest replacing the warning icon with an icon that looks like a sync icon. Perhaps there is an Android icon (two arrows) that can be used. Or just drop the icon entirely. Please see [2] for ideas.

Thanks!
