Bug Description

I think we should consider replacing some of the icons in UNR. XSane being the worst of them. Here is a wiki page with some very nice alternatives to a few of the ones that I think could use replacing.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/Lemon%27s_Needed_Icons

Here is a list of the ones that I think should be considered:

XSane
Tracker
Sound recorder
Take Screenshot
Passwords and Encryption Keys

XSane will soon be replaced by Gnome-Scan which has a tango-fied icon that matches the icon theme.

It is easy to change the icons yourself by using the menu edit option and selecting a new svg icon.

I agree the icons do need some work and I think the standard SVG icon size needs to be set higher, I have a lot of nice tango icons that are simply blurry when the size is increased.

Sorry, I don't think I was supposed to mark this as invalid, so I removed this. I also removed Ubuntu Netbook Remix because this has nothing to do with UNR.

Add Gnome-Scan because of a better icon? No. Gnome-Scan is missing critical functionality atm. Ubuntu Studio has a better Xsane icon. Use the one from their set.

This also partially comes down to how to treat upstream branding. That's important to a project. So you have to be careful.
