Bug Description

I've just installed Karmic and I noticed that the "Accessories" menu uses the "applications-utilities" icon.
It should use the "applications-accessories" icon but I don't know if this was changed for a reason.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

-I'v check this with 2 installs and i can confirm this bug an fresh installs. on a fresh install this problem seems to arise.
But when a system is upgraded , there is no such problem , the applications-accessories icon is used.
Thought this is a bug , this is not a usability bug.Hence not a papercut.
[the icon switch does not convey any wrong meaning to an average user , its just we know the icon used is different ;) ]
For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.

Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as "Invalid" only in the papercuts project.

The change comes from debian:

" * 11_science-menu.patch: new patch.
    + Split Science out of the Education menu.
    + Use "science" icon for Science, "accessories" for Education, and
      "utilities" for Accessories, since that fits better how the icons
      were designed."
