Humanity delete icon uses a wrong
This is a problem since the upstream documentation is not very clear .
After discussion with the xdg spec maintainers , it's clear that :
The delete icon has to be used only for recoverable actions and
the list-remove needs to be used for permanent delete actions.
I had filed a bug regarding this

I was thrown by this earlier... I kept checking and double checking the
accounts I was adding to Empathy because I thought the icon was telling
me they were mis-configured. Right now I am looking at the tabs at the
top of my browser and as similar as the ''+" and the "x" are they seem
to be crystal
I have to agree, because I was reporting this as a bug too. The current icon
for deleting items is not clear at all, you also have to think about buttons'
hints translations that can be confusing. For example, the Italian tanslation
for the related hint on Evolution souds like "Marks the slected
To fix this problem temporarily, I did the following:
$ cd /usr/share/icons
$ sudo cp -r Humanity Humanity-fixed
$ cd Humanity-fixed
$ sudo vi index.theme
Change the theme name to "Humanity-fixed", then :wq to save the file
$ sudo find . -name \*delete\* -exec rm {} \;
Then go into the Theme ta
Hi, I'm arriving from my duplicate bug report #454013 and after reading
the comments here, I strongly concur with Lionel as well. I disagree
strongly with the comment about implied recoverability - there are
situations in Nautilus where "move to trash" does not allow for
reversal, such as when a fi
I agree with the concerns raised in this bug report , also another valid
comment from a duplicate: that the present icon resembles the 'NO' sign.

I quite agree with Lionel, but...
I also notice the Trashcan is not such a good idea either, as I would expect it
to be a recoverable deletion, like it is the case on the desktops.
Also notice that some trashcans have the recycle symbol, that resembles the
refresh icon, and can lead to bad mista
I concur with Lionel.

When I said "other", I was speaking about the google search. The google
search doesn't mean anything. In my case, the first result was an
interdiction sign, like those on the road. The second result was a green
arrow.
Right now, the GNOME icon theme, the Tango theme, the Ubuntu theme until

Lionel Dricot , When your bug report states "In other themes,"
It seems the report was started because "we are not doing like others ".
I'm a bit confused. so are we supposed to do like others? use the trash
can or not ? ;p
Also,in launchpad the icon used for any delete/unsubscribe is similar
(
I don't accept the "other are doing it" . Also, just think about the
metaphor : it's an interdiction sign in nearly every country. If you can
provide any ling between the "interdiction" metaphor and the "delete"
action, I would be really curious to hear.
But I propose you to do just like launchpad
I'm failing to see how this is a bad metaphor.
Google "delete icon" and you'll see at least two icons that look almost
