Bug Description
This is a UI issue.
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
The lock/unlock button in User Accounts goes against the normal use of a lock to indicate the locked state, instead meaning the action of locking. This makes the icon confusing. A better approach would be to use the commonly used convention, and not have the lock in the button.

What's the "normal use"? This button is standard as it's provided by GTK.
