UIFe: Re-enable the Ubuntu logo for the Applications menu in the GNOME Classic session

Branch attached.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

As the only flavour shipping gnome-panel, Edubuntu isn't opposed to the change, though I'd need before/after screenshots of a default Edubuntu gnome fallback session before considering it.

Another problem is that for this to happen, you'd need a gtk3 and a light-themes upload, which are packages part of all gnome/unity based images. So while I'm fine with the change from an Edubuntu point of view and wouldn't mind the respin, I don't think it's reasonable to do it for 12.04 release.

Depending on how it looks in a clean Edubuntu session, we might consider getting that gtk fix and turning on the icon in an SRU to have it for 12.04.1. It's not a big UI change and from our user's point of view, will likely be seen as some kind of regression from the old Ubuntu classic experience.

It helps for a UI freeze exception that this is the non-default session for Edubuntu (Unity is default for 12.04) and there is no official documentation for the GNOME Classic session.

If anyone would like to test the fix for this & the GTK tweak out, it's relatively simple.

Add gtk-icon-sizes = panel-menu-bar=24,24 to /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

And for /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/apps/gnome-panel.css
add
-PanelMenuBar-icon-visible: true;
on a new line right below
PanelMenuBar.menubar.menuitem {

Then restart gnome-panel or log out and back in. I would have proposed this a lot sooner if I had known this was possible.

I was planning on enabling it in all deployments I do anyway, also add a howto on the Edubuntu site on how to do it.

If it could be enabled by default it would save a lot of people some trouble.

Making another screenshot would be no problem.

+1 from me.

+1 from me too, it'd be very nice to have one less regression from the 10.04 UI :)

+1 from me too, having a nive gnome-fallback session would make transition a lot easier for less technical users.

Thanks. Apparently our theme doesn't override the right distributor-logo, so we end up with the Ubuntu logo instead of Edubuntu's.

Though in black and white, I don't expect many people to actually notice the difference (not to mention that we'd have to create a black and white version of the logo first ;)), so it looks good to me.

I'm happy to have this land in Edubuntu 12.04 as an SRU. You may want to ask for confirmation from an SRU team member before pushing the changes to precise-proposed though.

With my SRU hat on this seems fine. It's mostly Edubuntu's decision anyway.

Unsubscribing the release team, this missed the precise release.

@Clint: What more do you want?
There is a fix for Quantal, but you think it's another bug in precise?
It's the same thing. Ubuntu logo next to the Applications menu label is missing in the Gnome classic panel.

Jeremy Bicha in post #5 even offers you the solution. I checked and it works.

Hello Jeremy, or anyone else affected,
