Can you send a screengrab? I'd be interested to see that.
Attached.
I just tried it (coincidentally) in a new install of Xubuntu 18.04, and that
used the familiar yellow/red rose icon.
I'll have to track this down and make it go away. It's probably
pointless to complain to anyone though.
I actually took the photo - Richard made it into a nice icon.
Ah.
I attach the original photo below for your interest.
That really is interesting. It sure looks like the same rose I used as
the "Rosegarden rose" for all those years. I had to move that rose or
cut down three trees. It survived for one year, but died. I finally
tracked down what it was, "Autumn Sunset," and I'm going to buy a new
plant when they're available again. This cultivar was patented in 1998,
and I must have gotten one when it was a brand new thing. Hell of a
rose. It's sad that I killed it, but 20 years is a good run for a rose.
This time, I'm going to dedicate a space to it in an island unto itself.
It's from 2004, so you had been around a little while by then.
A couple of years. Wow. It's amazing how much time I used to spend
diddling bits and pixels back then. I spent my hobby time today turning
a knurled aluminum knob with a square socket in the bottom, which serves
as a sort of speed nut for the drawbar on my milling machine, and I shot
video of the whole process. I'm starting a Youtube channel, with the
dream of doing Youtube for a living and quitting my day job.
Well, something needs to work eventually. I can't keep this day job
much longer before my knees blow out and I'm disabled.
