From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-GB; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040116 Description of problem: In the Gnome, when you open a program requiring root administrative priviledges, and you fill out the root password to gain them, you then get the "keys" icon <keyring.png> down in the system tray to inform you they are present. I thought it might be an idea in the case of root priviledges to use the root "shield" icon <root-password.png> in the system tray instead, in a move to make the shield symbolize allthingsroot a bit more. This would match the usage of the "shield" graphic to represent root in the root password change app in "Hat>>System Settings>>Root Password", and maybe work better in the context of the change to a keys icon for the general user password change app (RFE 117166)... Just a suggestion, what do we think? [diagram attached] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-artwork-0.88-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open a program requiring root administrative priviledges in Gnome. 2.Check out <keyring.png> icon that appears in the system tray representing root priviledges. 3.Consider possibly swapping this for the root shield logo <root-password.png> to represent it instead.
