Bug#592473: gnome-themes: Shutdown power icon is confusing on default install/theme

Package: gnome-themes
Version: 2.30.2-1
Severity: normal

The icon appearing when shutting down the system is a flip-switch, which rarely
exists on any modern machines -- they nearly all have push-buttons, so the
metaphor is outdated.

There is an internationally recognized power icon (an O with an I in the top)
which appears on nearly most machines. Would it be possible to use this
recognizable icon on the gnome desktop to?

thanks!
