Public bug reported:
Summary: The libnotify icon that appears when there are "Important
Security Updates" appears to indicate a state of caution / problem as
opposed to important alert. This may be a byproduct of:
* Inconsistency with standard update icon. This difference makes the
instance of downloading seem as though two different things will happen
when, in fact, it is the same program being launched.
* Harnesses symbols from known North American signage associated with
caution / warning / etc. Is this what is to be implied or something
more akin to "Take Notice" or "Important"? Further still, it uses a
second visual cue via colour representation to push this association
along.
Possible Fixes:
* Harness the base shape of the default update icon in a different fashion.
* Associate different sub-symbols within the icon to distinguish between the
two different 'classes' of action versus the appearance of two entirely
different functions.
* Avoid known associative culture centric symbols that imply different
meanings, especially when associated with common lore colour systems.
** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
