Comment 4 for bug 986988

As the only flavour shipping gnome-panel, Edubuntu isn't opposed to the change, though I'd need before/after screenshots of a default Edubuntu gnome fallback session before considering it.

Another problem is that for this to happen, you'd need a gtk3 and a light-themes upload, which are packages part of all gnome/unity based images. So while I'm fine with the change from an Edubuntu point of view and wouldn't mind the respin, I don't think it's reasonable to do it for 12.04 release.

Depending on how it looks in a clean Edubuntu session, we might consider getting that gtk fix and turning on the icon in an SRU to have it for 12.04.1. It's not a big UI change and from our user's point of view, will likely be seen as some kind of regression from the old Ubuntu classic experience.
