    Rationale for the renames:
    "other" implies that the icon should be a generic one, and indeed applications-other and preferences-other make for a good fallback if there are categories not covered by a given theme. Also, at least KDE has no "other preferences" category, but rather a separate system settings application and a menu (with icon), both using one general settings icon for the whole set of sub-elements.


    The preferences-desktop-* ones are very implementation specific, as it's not specified anywhere that the "peripherals" and "personal" preferences need to be a child element of the desktop preferences. Likewise, "network" settings don't necessarily reside in the preferences-system category in certain desktops.

    Specification compliance of icon names

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

     * 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
     *** bad naming in the spec imho, suggesting to rename this icon
         there, but let's use the specified name for now
    

    To do for Oxygen - specified icons

    None, everything's in place in the "categories" category :D

    To do for Oxygen - optional icons

    These icons are good to have, but even if we lack those there will be a sensible fallback.

     applications-games-arcade **
       An icon for arcade games, like KTron or Clanbomber.
    
     applications-games-board **
       An icon for board games, like Mahjongg or Chess.
    
     applications-games-children **
       An icon for games for small children,
       like the scary Potato Guy.
    
     applications-games-strategy **
       An icon for strategy games, like Minesweeper,
       Sokoban or Battle for Wesnoth.
    
     applications-games-card **
       An icon for card games... but for Oxygen, we already have
       a card set icon as fallback, so it doesn't make much sense
       to draw a new icon. Just listed for completeness.
    

    Suggested changes and additions

    Including a suggested short description text like needed for inclusion in the spec.

     applications-development
       [In the description, change "Programming" to "Development",
        in accordance to the icon name and the fd.o menu spec.]
    
     applications-education
       The icon for the "Education" sub-menu of the Programs menu.
    
     preferences-desktop-peripherals -> preferences-peripherals
       The icon for the "Peripherals" preferences category.
    
     preferences-desktop-personal -> preferences-personal
       The icon for the "Personal" preferences category.
    
     preferences-system-network -> preferences-network
       The icon for the "Network" preferences category.
    

    Rationale for the renames:

    The preferences-desktop-* ones are very implementation specific, as it's not specified anywhere that the "peripherals" and "personal" preferences need to be a child element of the desktop preferences. Likewise, "network" settings don't necessarily reside in the preferences-system category in certain desktops.
