"... it uses the gnome iconset as fallback so this bug shouldn't be
happening."

Does the " gnome iconset as fallback " produce High Contrast icons as
"Default"?

If the answer to that is "No,  the issue is a basic failure of
disability accessibility.

Fall back to low vis or low contrast is a Fail!

Why not just Blow up the icons in low vis until they are legible and
recognisable? Or is that not an accessible option either?

A low contrast default icon where a  high contrast icon should be is
"...  a virtual staircase. "

"For example, someone who is unable to navigate stairs becomes very
disabled in a town where there are stairs everywhere, but much less so
if the stairs were replaced with ramps.....

... An inaccessible computer system can easily become a virtual
staircase."

Sorry - but I see no claims made that 12.04 is just a virtual OS - or
virtual reality! It is supposedly accessible - but demonstrably not!

If you want me to sign the Ununtu Code Of Conduct - prove it worth my
while - which is quite shocking for me to type, given that I have been
promoting Ubuntu for five years - and disability accessibility for over
20!

See Bug Report - #964685 "Failed disability accessability standards -
12.04 - Live CD & Installed".

I hate having to do a risk assessment, for public and private sector,
and say "Redmond"!

Now I have no option.

In the past - the issues could be fudged!

No More!
