This icon is typically associated to "sync" action on various other places and operating systems. A more appropriate icon could be something like the ones suggested at recent GNOME UX Hackfest, see this blog post http://jimmac.musichall.cz/log/?p=946 and/or this image http://jimmac.musichall.cz/images/blog/gnome-stencils.png ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Mar 5 10:54:48 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Alpha i386 (20100224.1) Package: ubuntu-mono 0.0.6 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANG=it_IT.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-15.22-generic SourcePackage: ubuntu-mono Uname: Linux 2.6.32-15-generic i686 The icon used to show a wired (ethernet) network in network-manager-applet shows two arrown pointing up and down.
