    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-home              -> user-home
     folder-red               -> folder-root *
     folder-blue,
     folder-brown,
     folder-cyan,
     folder-green,
     folder-grey,
     folder-orange,
     folder-violet,
     folder-yellow            -> svn rm, without replacement
     folder-bookmarks,
     folder-development,
     folder-html,
     folder-image,
     folder-important,
     folder-locked,
     folder-print,
     folder-sound,
     folder-tar,
     folder-txt,
     folder-video             -> svn rm
                                 (emulate with folder + emblem overlay)
     link                     -> emblems/emblem-symbolic-link
                                 (blow up to the full icon size)
     network-wired            -> devices/network *
                                 (alternative: devices/network-wired)
     network-local            -> devices/network-local **
                                 (depends on the previous one being
                                  added to the spec, otherwise:
                                  devices/network-wired-local **)
     trashcan-empty-alt       -> svn rm, or move to alternative/
     user-trash               OK
     user-trash-full          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
    

    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.
    
     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.)
    
     network-workgroup
       The icon for the “Network Servers” place in the desktop's
       file manager, and workgroups within the network.
       (Editor's note: a workgroup like Windows' "WORKGROUP".)
    
     start-here
       The icon used by the desktop's main menu for accessing places,
       applications, and other features. (Editor's note: Seems like
       we want to move apps/kmenu to places/start-here.)
    
     user-desktop
       The icon for the special “Desktop” directory of the user.
    


    Summary of the suggested additions

    The ones marked with * and should therefore go into the icon naming specification, presented here in a shorter list for a better overview. Including a suggested short description text like needed for inclusion in the spec.

     folder-root
       The icon used for the root directory of a filesystem.
