Fedora has a (currently unapplied?) patch in its gtk2 package which changes GtkEntry's invisible-char defualt from "*" to "•" (Unicode 0x2022 BULLET).
openSUSE has a patch that changes the invisible-char to "●" (Unicode 0x25CF BLACK CIRCLE). I'm arguing for committing openSUSE's patch based on the following unquestionable criteria: * The circle is bigger. This goes hand in hand with Christopher Alexander's "Nature of Order" principles of Strong Centers, Good Shape, and Contrast. * The circle is fatter. We should have a no-discrimination policy against Unicode glyphs with an above-average body mass index, I mean, the ink-to-area ratio. * The circle is BIGGER. Size does matter, you know. * I started the bikeshed. Really, it doesn't make sense to carry around patches like these :) OK to commit?
