That makes sense! I will stop bugging the Tracker
guys with it :-)
How popular would the suggestion be? People are used
to using a magnifier for search, it's true. So is it
OK with users that the same symbol means two different
things? Does it matter? A lot of GNOME UI design is
still very based on "What people are used to"
(Windows/Mac) and is that wrong?
