    Specification compliance of icon names

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

    Generic Application Names:

     accessories-dictionary  OK
     kcalc                   -> accessories-calculator
     kwrite                  -> accessories-text-editor
     khelpcenter             -> help-browser
     konsole                 -> utilities-terminal
     preferences-desktop-wallpaper OK
    
     * 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.

     accessories-character-map
       The icon used for the desktop's international and extended
       text character accessory program.
    
     preferences-desktop-accessibility
       The icon used for the desktop's accessibility preferences.
    
     preferences-desktop-font
       The icon used for the desktop's font preferences.
    
     preferences-desktop-keyboard
       The icon used for the desktop's keyboard preferences.
    
     preferences-desktop-locale
       The icon used for the desktop's locale preferences.
    
     preferences-desktop-multimedia
       The icon used for the desktop's multimedia preferences.

       The icon used for the desktop's screen saving preferences.
