potential UE issues with the classic toolbar icon for "junk"

<Asa> man, having that junk button right next to the trash button is messing me up.
<Asa> I keep hitting it instead of trash.
<sspitzer> I haven't heard of any other people complaining about it, but it
seems like something that could happen to frequent toolbar users.
<sspitzer> classic or modern skin?
<Asa> classic
<sspitzer> the new "recycle" looking icon resembles trash too much?
<Asa> yeah. I think.
<Asa> I know what's wrong with it
<Asa> it's too attactive.
<Asa> it's larger and more colorful than trash
<Asa> so since I'm not looking closely and I'm used to trash being up there I
just the thing that sticks out the most as trash. that's no longer the trash icon.
<Asa> it's the most colorful (rich colors too) of all the toolbar buttons in
classic. I think that's the problem for me.

let's see if others have this problem before we re-do the icon.

Can we swap the order of the Delete and Junk toolbar icons?

Scanning from right to left and expecting Del to be in that third position might
be part of the problem as well.

they've been swapped, per the spec.

Karsten, close?  I don't know what the spec is. But with no dups, cc or votes, I would think anyone who had trouble with this are now "OK" with it.
