Bug Description

Hey

Our "logout" icon in various places sucks. It looks like a "Power" button to press, but it wont shut down a device which is what the symbol usually means.

In UNR, the "Shutdown" and "Logout" options are both displayed at the same time with relatively similar red buttons on the nebtook-launcher logout "Quit..." dialog and this adds to confusion.

I think it's ok to use the "Power" metaphor to start a logout/shutdown/reboot etc. dialog, but not as the logout option itself.

Bye
