Bug Description

1. Open System Settings>Appearance
2. Change the theme to High Contrast.
3. Notice that the far right indicator, the system status menu, no longer has an icon. This makes it impossible for a typical user to log out of their account.

As a workaround, it's possible to click another menu, like the clock, and use the right arrow key to navigate to the basically invisible system menu.

This should be a high priority bug, as it makes the system less usable to those who have enabled an accessibility feature.

This will also affect the planned GNOME remix of Ubuntu as we use Adwaita by default but it will also include the Classic session with indicators. If 3D support doesn't work (such as in my VirtualBox testing today), the user will get the Classic session.

When this is fixed, please SRU to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Thanks Jeremy, are you sure it happens in precise? It looks like bug #1018535 which I fixed in a SRU. It worked when I uploaded those packages for me but seems broken on quantal, I'm not sure why since the fix is still there.

The issue is basically that:
- the icon used is "system-devices-panel"
- the icon is not available in HighContrast theme
- gtk does fallbacking dropping the -<extra> as much as needed ... which goes down to "system"
- that icon is available in h-umanity-icon-theme

We made HighContrast fallback to Humanity is needed so it should use system.svg from there... it was working at the time I did the SRU, not sure what broke...

Seb, yes I just verified that it works like it's supposed to in Precise now; I'm surprised that it's not working in Quantal.

I thought I remembered reading it fixed in a changelog but couldn't find it when I was looking last night and didn't have a Precise install handy.
