    Specification compliance of icon names

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

     file-broken              -> rework into emblems/emblem-unreadable.
                                 Currently only in use by apps/libs as
                                 "image could not be loaded" substitute.
     folder                   OK

     folder-violet,
     folder-yellow            -> Keep for now, but try to bring up some
                                 substitute functionality, like tinting
                                 folders by code, or putting the regular
                                 folder on a colored background.
     folder-bookmarks,
     folder-development,
     folder-html,

     network-workgroup        OK
     network-local            -> see if we can remove this

     user-trash               OK (KDE 3 name: trashcan_empty)
    
     * 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
    

    To do for Oxygen

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

     folder-remote
       The icon used for normal directories on a remote filesystem.
       (Editor's note: Move from devices/drive-remote for now.)
    
     network-server
       The icon used for individual host machines under the
       “Network Servers” place in the file manager.
       (Editor's note: a computer in a network.)
    
     start-here -- (dmiller: DONE, but left here for generic icon discussion)
       The icon used by the desktop's main menu for accessing places,
       applications, and other features. (Editor's note: apps/kmenu
       should be moved to start-here-kde so that GNOME desktops
       with Oxygen icons won't get the KDE icon in their panel.
       So could we have a more generic start-here icon for this?)
    
     user-desktop
       The icon for the special “Desktop” directory of the user.
    

    Stuff that needs to be done in the code

    • Replace root folder occurrences (folder-red) with drive-harddisk?
     (Discuss with kde-usability first.)
    
    • Use folder-remote in remote:/.
     (Also discuss with kde-usability.)
