[James Hunt <1377146@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rationale for adding icons:

1) The standard shutdown (power) icon, and the restart (circular arrow)
are almost universally recognised (to the extent that you wonder if we
could actually remove the text).

2) Colours only work if you can discriminate between then. Red and green
are alas an unfortunate combination
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness#Red.E2.80.93green_color_blindness)

3) if you inadvertently change your language to a language you don't
actually understand, you have a hope of selecting the correct option if
you can recognise the icon :-)

Title:
  shutdown menu should show icons

Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Holding the physical power button displays the shutdown menu with
  options to shutdown, restart or cancel. These buttons are colour-coded
  but for added clarity I think we should add icons to represent the
  operations.

  Note that if this menu is changed, there are other parts of the system
  that also offer similar shutdown/restart menus (see bug 1377145) so
  ideally they would also be modified (or even better they would make
  use of the "one true" shutdown menu to avoid inconsistency).
