Bug Description

When changing themes, all indicator icons are updated with the new corresponding icons for the selected theme. This does not currently happen for the user switching indicator, that remains the same until restart or logging out and in.

I don't have this issue at all, the icon changes fine for me. Can you check if the issue is fixed with latest updates? Thanks.

I can still reproduce the issue in precise. Please see the attached screenshot.

To reproduce, try to change from Ambiance to Radiance. In my case, the Ambiance icon for the user switch indicator remains, instead of changing immediately to the Radiance one.

In the screenshot, I was using the famous Faenza icon theme before changing to default Radiance theme and icons, so the Faenza icon is displayed along with the other Radiance icons.

I'm not able to reproduce this issue in 14.04 -- the stock user icons in the User Switcher section of indicator-session update correctly.

This may have been a problem specifically with the header in the user menu; however, that was removed in 12.10.
