Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

At the moment the bubble displays the "radio tower" icon (scaled up) - it should show the new 3G icon (vertical bars with 3G)

what is used is nm-device-wwan ... which is the tower symbol. Problem is that we cannot replace that without changing the other uses of that icon (tray + connection editor).

so i see three ways to tackle this:

 1. change all usages of that icon by replacing it in human icon theme
 2. change the applet code to use a different icon for just this notification (which one?)
 3. add a hack to notify-osd to map the nm-device-wwan to the proper icon name

For Jaunty we cannot patch network manager to lookup the right icon for the notification so we will add a link to the human-icon-theme package which points to the name it currently uses

changing the icon in the human theme (option 1) would affect the UI in three places:

 1. panel/tray icon used when connected to 3g (currently its the tower)
 2. icon used for the mobile broadband tab in the nm-connection-editor
 3. icon used in the notification this bug is about

Unfortunately, changing the icon in the human theme makes the panel and connection editor versions look horrible. The only correct way I can see to do this is to change the lookup name in network manager for the notification bubble version

OK,

a. what icon shall we use in the notification then? does that exist yet?
b. what icon should we ship as a fall back for non-human themes (we need to ship the fallback in the applet package)?

Yes, it exists. It's vertical bars with the little "3G" label in the top
left. Ken Wimer knows which one this is.

Whatever is the current default non-Human for 3G. Ken?

notification-gsm-3g-full.svg is the icon that should be used and is already installed in the human theme. Whatever icon was being used before should be used for the non-human icon theme case

Heads up that we won't do this for jaunty as it requires CD changes and doc team coordination.

Also its only a one time notification so its _not_ something the user regularly sees - making this glitch less severe.
