  Can this be reverted?
  The new icon is very deceiving, making me think I have my WiFi On, but
  with no signal. I rather have the old icon back.
  Thanks

 Normally I wouldn't get involved in a usability dispute (Usability to
 me = Terminal) but my wife used my Ubuntu laptop and couldn't figure
 out why she couldn't get out when the wireless icon showed that way (I
 had it off from using an Aircard).   If we don't want to use the
 normal icon please consider something more obvious like the bars icon
 with a slash through it?

Right, testing has shown that we needed to work on this some more. I've now 
added a red box with a white X in it to denote the problem. Test it, once it 
is sponsored in main for Jaunty.

Re: New Theme every LTS release

 I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but i've been trying to
 think of ways to get new, better themes into Ubuntu. What i mean is, every
 release, we see beautiful mockups, but nothing ever comes of it. I think
 something needs to change so that these mockups have a chance of getting
 worked on. If not this, i think something should be done differently to
 address this problem-- it doesn't matter what. My idea is simply that after
 every LTS release, a mockup is voted on to work on for the next LTS
 release, giving plenty of time to work on it. Is this reasonable? Would
 this work?

Shortly before 8.04 (Hardy Heron) it was decided that the LTS release is the 
final release in an artwork cycle, exactly as you suggest. For 8.10 (Intrepid 
Ibex) we have been reviewing new themes (the dark theme, and so far 3 
community themes). We have picked these themes for inclusion due to their 
quality and popularity. Although we will not vote on the matter the interests 
of users are definitely taken into account. I've set up a PPA with the themes 
in question (https://launchpad.net/~kwwii/+archive) so that everyone can test 
them without having to compile anything themselves. Our next step is to 
include these in the next Intrepid Ibex alpha so keep any eye out for them 
there if you aren't interested or don't have the time to check them out via 
the PPA I mentioned.

Thanks,
Kenneth Wimer
