Comment 8 for bug 452149

Hi, I'm arriving from my duplicate bug report #454013 and after reading the comments here, I strongly concur with Lionel as well. I disagree strongly with the comment about implied recoverability - there are situations in Nautilus where "move to trash" does not allow for reversal, such as when a file on an SFTP filesystem is "moved to trash."

Also, as important as the shell is, it's not the only app that people use and the icon being displayed is consistently incorrect in several major applications - GIMP, Evolution, context menus in Liferea, context menus in Gnumeric, even the bookmark menu in Firefox. Despite what one application may want to insist on, the vast majority of other apps use gtk-delete to mean deletion, and expecting them all to switch to gtk-remove because of one contentious icon in the default Ubuntu theme is not practical.

From a usability standpoint, the icons that appear for stock GTK controls have the red no circle mapped to gtk-delete, while *a trash can with an undo arrow* is mapped to gtk-undelete. This is inconsistent. Please take a look at the stock button settings for gtk-delete and gtk-undelete (fire up gazpacho or glade and look if you don't believe me).

Why is this hard to fix? Isn't changing the icon mapping simply putting a different icon in the right spots in /usr/share/icons/Human/?
