We've gotten quite a bit of user feedback that the icon used in the polkit unlock button is confusing to people. The icon relates to the verb/action but is interpreted as indicating the current state.
Comment 1 Allan Day 2013-06-20 19:48:31 UTC 
Maybe we can separate the state indication from the action: have a "Locked" label below the panel title, and remove the icon from the button.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2013-06-21 08:21:35 UTC 
The button is a stock button provided by GTK+.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2014-05-22 02:25:15 UTC 
need a concrete change proposal here
