Bug#683348: gdm3: Missing greeter shutdown icon, should recommend gnome-icon-theme-symbolic

[Ben Caradoc-Davies]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.4.1-2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

when gdm3 is installed on a system that lacks a full Gnome installation (for
example, an Xfce installation), the gdm3 greeter is missing an icon for the
shutdown menu. Instead, a generic placeholder icon is used. Functionality is
not affected.

gdm3 searches for the gtk icon "system-shutdown-symbolic", but because this is
provided by gnome-icon-theme-symbolic which is not in the recommends for gdm3,
it will not be present unless installed as a dependency or recommends of
another package.

The problem is resolved by installing gnome-icon-theme-symbolic and restarting
gdm3.

A straightforward solution would be to add gnome-icon-theme-symbolic to the
recommends of gdm3.

Kind regards,
Ben.
