Comment 71 for bug 407621

manzur,

You're talking about bug #84931, right? I don't think that was the motivation for disabling icons... do you have an official source to confirm this? Reading the comments on this bug from Matthew and others, it seems to be a design decision.

If bug #84931 was the real reason for the change, that issue longer applies to Karmic. The Humanity icon theme is now the default icon theme, and the 16px icons that were missing from the Human set are present in Humanity.
