Comment:
Perhaps it would be interesting to collect here a list of applications
which are still using asterisks rather than round filled circles
(blobs?). This may include also KDE applications.  For example:

evolution                         bug 13943
gnome-ssh-askpass         bug 14084

However, this is a change that must be done in each application, isn't
it? So, it would make sense to have separate bug reports for each
application in order to track their progress separately. Currently, bug
reports for evolution (bug 13943) and gnome-ssh-askpass (bug 14084) have
been marked as duplicates of this bug.

Finally, my opinion is that all applications should use the default
character, which should be defined by the current desktop theme. The
Ubuntu/Kubuntu theme could use a round filled circle while other "80s-
styled" themes may prefer the asterisk.
