Lionel Dricot , When your bug report states "In other themes,"
It seems the report was started because "we are not doing like others ".
I'm a bit confused. so are we supposed to do like others? use the trash can or not ? ;p
Also,in launchpad the icon used for any delete/unsubscribe is similar (-) , the icon in the humanity theme is (/)
I like the idea of the user testing. But its too late for karmic. Maybe by Lucid someone can try this experiment out.
If a similar icon used by others is not used. Users are surely bound to get more confused with the introduction of a new icon. So the new icon needs to be very good at expressing "delete".
It is safer *for now* to stick with metaphors which are more common, even if "others are doing it" ;)
