[Bug 60424] Re: GTK default icons used in several places

[Andreas Nilsson]

We decided to remove the dialog-* since we had to many complains about them, especially the dialog-cancel icon. I put them in tango-common because I was curious about the effect of these somewhat unorthodox metaphors, but they were not really popular.
I hope these actions can be placed in tango-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme where they belong soon, but I'm afraid it can't be made for edgy as it will use version 2.16 of gnome-icon-theme (not sure about tango-icon-theme).
Regarding dialog-ok, the icon used in the ok-buttons I think it should be removed from the naming-spec. Ok is a weird word to put in a button and these buttons should use verbs like "remove", "install", "set" etc instead.
Install/Remove Applications in the Applications menu for example has a ok button right now for example. That button should say "Install" (just like the update manager do).
Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope we can have this fixed soon, the right way.
