I think there is a need for a a document in the wiki similiar to the project coordinator page, that states what the UI coordinator should do. Right now different people have different views on it.

However, to add my two cents, either you start respecting coordinator positions or you don't. Some of you come up with arguments like "oh noes!! We CAN'T change this in Application FOO because <some guy that wrote foo> doesn't want us to!". Well, if your definition of GPL/ FOSS is that some guy can dictate how his code is used, then shouldn't your definition of a "coordinator" be someont that dictates policy on his area?
This is exactly the point. What's the point in a UI coordinator, who at least tries to keep things consistent, when noone is going to listen to him? However, there is one more role of a coordinator - to try and solve all arguings arising between developers / ppl working on graphics.
So, if you (Ged vs. mf) finally can't work together at all, I would better take a small break then, to re-think what's wrong and what's right. And yes, it should be fun, otherwise what's the point of working on this at all?
I tried to regulate this somehow, but it looks like not enough steam was off from both Ged and mf, and all this resulted into a ros-dev flamewar. And developers themselves haven't decided - GreatLord wants the icon removed for some unknown reason, someone else wants the icon to stay, also without a reason.
Why I wanted a UI coordinator, is because HE should solve SUCH questions [in a more or less diplomatic way :) ].
I will think more what can be done on this topic.
If it's OK to take Foo's authority over foo.exe as supreme, isn't it a bit hypocritical to go behind Bar KC's authority when modifying bar?
Just my two cents.
