    Specification compliance of icon names

    Icon names without trailing stars already exist in the freedesktop.org icon naming specification.

    Generic Application Names:

     kcalc                   -> accessories-calculator
     kwrite                  -> accessories-text-editor
     khelpcenter             -> help-browser
     konsole                 -> utilities-terminal
    
     * suggesting this for inclusion into the icon naming specification
     ** not in the spec, but let's keep it out of there anyways,
        it's not really suited to be a standard icon
    
    Applications which are to be considered part of the base desktop, 
    such as the calculator or terminal, should use the generic icons 
    specified in this specification, while more advanced applications 
    such as web browsers and office applications should use branded 
    icons which still give the user an idea of what function the 
    application provides.
    

    To do for Oxygen

    Icons that are in the spec, but not yet in Oxygen's apps/ (after renaming) so they need to be added. Descriptions taken from the specification.

     missing-icon
       [Here goes the description from the icon naming specification.]
    


    Summary of the suggested changes and additions

    The ones marked with * and should therefore go into the icon naming specification, presented here in a shorter list for a better overview. Including a suggested short description text like needed for inclusion in the spec.

       The icon used for [whatever].
