[Bug 394065] [NEW] Usability: Icons are confusing

[Quartz]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

The "busy" and "away" icons are confusing.

Busy should not be green (green is go, proceed), and should not have a
page on top of it (page looks like a message arrived).

Away should not be red and specially not a triangle (red means problem
and a red triangle twice as much, in some countries it is standard car
equipment for emergency stops).  There are other unwanted connotations
with red triangles (family planning, the badge used by political
prisoners in nazi camps).

** Affects: empathy (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
