* 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
*** exists in the Tango icon set, but not in the spec

Generic Tango icons in Oxygen:

 krfb        -> preferences-desktop-remote-desktop

Other application icons:

Most other application icons should go to their home modules instead of residing in kdelibs - this not only makes for a better overview but also reduces disk space in case not all modules are installed. And, of course, prevents icons being misused for wrong usages.

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.

 preferences-desktop-multimedia
   The icon used for the desktop's multimedia preferences.

 preferences-desktop-theme
   The icon used for the desktop's theme preferences.

To do for Oxygen - not in the spec

Icons that are not specified and do not currently exist as well, but are needed for KDE applications (and not blatantly obvious). Yes, I am aware that some of those are bad (if not outright evil) names. That comes from preferences-desktop-peripherals being classified in the "desktop" preferences subgroup, which is very wrong imho. We need to fix this in the spec (see the suggestions of the categories page), but until then, I stay with specification conform names.

 preferences-desktop-effect
   The icon for the "Desktop Effects" KCM. (New in KDE 4.)

 preferences-desktop-icons
   The icon for the "Icons" KCM.

 preferences-desktop-launch-feedback
   You can guess. Really, it's easy.

 preferences-desktop-panel
   The icon for the "Panels" KCM.

 preferences-system-network-discovery
   The icon for the "Service Discovery"
   (= DNSSD / Zeroconf / Bonjour / Rendezvous) KCM.

 preferences-system-network-proxy
   The icon for the "Proxy" KCM. (Also exists in the Tango set.)

 preferences-system-network-share
   The icon for the "File Sharing" and "Local Network Browsing" KCMs.

 preferences-system-session
   The icon for the "Session Manager" KCM.
   (This icon also exists in the Tango set.)

 preferences-system-splash
   The icon for the "Splash Screen" KCM.

Optional icons

We don't absolutely need those because they are covered by fallbacks: if these icons don't exist, they've got a sensible fallback.

 preferences-desktop-display-multiple
   The icon for the "Multiple Monitors" (aka Xinerama) KCM.

 preferences-desktop-display-randr
   The icon for the "Size & Orientation" KCM.

 preferences-desktop-font-installer
   The icon for the "Font Installer" KCM.

 preferences-desktop-keyboard-khotkeys
   The icon for the "KHotKeys" KCM.

 preferences-desktop-multiple
   The icon for the "Multiple Desktops"
   (a.k.a. virtual desktops) KCM.

 preferences-desktop-panel-taskbar
   The icon for the "Taskbar" KCM.

 preferences-desktop-user-account
   The icon for the "Password & User Account" KCM.

 preferences-desktop-user-smartcard
   The icon for the "Smartcards" KCM.
   (Was "identity" in KDE 3, and is really not necessary.)

 preferences-system-solid
   The icon for the "Solid" KCM. (New in KDE 4.)

 preferences-system-network-connection
   The icon for the "Connection Preferences" KCM.

 preferences-system-network-share-windows
   The icon for the "Windows Shares" KCM.

 preferences-system-network-share-windows-status
   The icon for the "Samba Status" KCM (in KInfoCenter).

 preferences-system-session-services
   The icon for the "Service Manager" KCM.

 preferences-system-windows-effect
   The icon for the "Window Effects" KCM. (New in KDE 4.)

 preferences-system-windows-decoration
   The icon for the "Window Decorations" KCM.

 preferences-system-windows-specific
   The icon for the "Window-Specific Settings" KCM.

Even more optional

Draw those only if you feel like wasting time for little outcome. I haven't got KDE 4 compiled at the moment, so I don't even know if those are visible at all.

 preferences-system-windows-focus
   The icon for the KWin's "Focus" settings, which
   belong to the "Window Behaviour" KCM.

 preferences-system-windows-action
   The icon for the KWin's "Actions" settings, which
   belong to the "Window Behaviour" KCM.

 preferences-system-windows-movement
   The icon for the KWin's "Moving" settings, which
   belong to the "Window Behaviour" KCM.

 preferences-system-windows-advanced
   The icon for the KWin's "Advanced" settings, which
   belong to the "Window Behaviour" KCM.

Icons in Tango, but not in the spec

We don't need to have those, but if we do they should be named this way:

 internet-group-chat
   For a possible generic instant messager icon.
   *Very* optional though, as we already have branded
   Kopete and Konversation icons.

 internet-mail
   We already have this from the previous "kmail" icon.

 internet-news-reader
   Instead of "knode".

 internet-web-browser
   For a possible generic browser icon. *Very* optional though,
   as we already have a branded Konqueror icon. (Done.)

 office-calendar
   We already have this from the previous "korganizer" icon.
   (Done.)

 preferences-desktop-assistive-technology
   Tango does this as preferences-desktop-accessibility
   plus an emblem-style gear icon at the lower right.
   Hardly necessary to have.

 preferences-desktop-sound
   Go Phonon go. (Done.)

 preferences-system-network-proxy
   We do have proxy settings in KDE 3, this might make sense.

 preferences-system-session
   The icon for the session management settings.

 preferences-system-windows
   KWin settings. (Done.)

 system-installer
   Adept, Yast, Pirut, Smart, or whatever else is out there.

 system-users
   Seems to fit KUser or Guidance's "User Management" module.
   (Evaluate if actions/users can be moved here.)
