The upstream does not say that a change to Nautilus would be a hack. It says that the patch to gvfs should be submitted in the gvfs bug tracker.
The change needs to be made it both projects in order to have a consitent icon. The current icon is hard coded in both projects and therefore should be changed in both. I have opened a new bug upstream in gvfs here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655692 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #655692 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655692 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301035 Title: Place an Ubuntu icon/emblem on the system partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/breathe-icon-set/+bug/301035/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
