    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-locale    OK
     preferences-desktop-wallpaper OK
     utilities-system-monitor      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.
