On Dapper by default it still uses the old Breezy icons. However when
you switch the theme to 'Human' ("Ubuntu Default Theme"), then you get
the Very Shiny Happy Icons, including a very nice trashcan icon that
however looks like a battery. :)

(Flight 5 & 6 for sure, not sure about older ones)

Not saying this is the end of the world as we know it, it was a random
example of one of the things I considered more exciting to debate than
maximizing windows. :)
