updates available - software-update-available urgent updates - software-update-urgent Not available yet. Just checked my directories and cvs upped tango. We should bring this up in tango-artists.
I will take care of those in tango icon theme (and eventually in gnome icon theme). I hope I can get Rodney to release 0.8.1 soonish.
getting/applying updates - process-working Don't you think an animation is to much of an distraction? I'd prefer a static icon and using tooltips/popups to indicate details [2].
refreshing sources - network-receive This is a hard one. Your proposal might be to close to the nm-icon when connected by cable. My current preference (view-refresh) is to close to what we need for indicating the need for a reboot.
Maybe we should also consider a "merge" of refreshing and getting/applying to one 'busy' and give additional info via tooltip.
On a second glance, I think the real message it gives here is that it's
doing something and it didn't die. The spinner sounds like a good
solution for both events.
If the refresh can trigger on its own, it may be a little obtrusive to
have an animated spinner. I would still consider this to be the best
solution, but I'm open to try something else for 'refreshing sources'.
cheers
