Gee, I guess I fell asleep when I sent this last. Could have sworn I already did!
Ah well, sorry if I'm repeating myself.

Thanks for the feedback regarding icons! I may as well slip that in to the same release since it's also a popular request and totally makes sense.

That change is now in the middle-tweaks branch and up at the web space I mentioned earlier (<http://www3.telus.net/northlight/dylan/ubiquity-slideshow-proposed/#controls>). I'm replacing most of the icons with their Humanity counterparts except Rhythmbox (because the Breathe one is awesome, and, as mentioned, the regular one is really plain). The F-Spot one is now straight from F-Spot's source package.
The Ubuntu logo is still from the Human theme, because the one from Humanity's distributor-logo icon looks Really Weird at large sizes. (Is there a different image I should be using?).
The OpenOffice icon looks a bit funny to me, and I am a bit troubled by the last icon being a question mark. Suggestions for those two are welcome, and let me know if the Rhythmbox one should change to the usual :)

I found Humanity's go-next icon (which we were using for the arrow) to blend really poorly on here. I can't quite put my finger on why, but lightening the background may make it fit. As is, the Human arrows just look prettier. Sharper, better defined and generally more pointed. Will create a branch to tinker with that one. Maybe something custom-made will turn out to be the best option; just a black or dark grey arrow...
On the other hand, the only app I can think of which uses go-next for bullet points like this is Beagle, which isn't installed by default.

Sorry about the bug tracker noise; I just don't want to launch too many discussions in too many places for such a small thing.
