I saw this link with the "Icon Naming Specifications" [1] > which is not equal to the "Icon Metaphors" list [2]. The icon-naming-spec is, to put it nicely (in fact he is being a total jerk), wary of adding e.g. drive-harddisk-usb to the spec and is actively rejecting patches to fix it. See the full thread here http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2006-July/msg00797.html Suggest to use the old names [1] as the software (gnome-vfs) using these icons still expect the old names and we're just not going to change until said maintainer smartens up. FYI, I plan to try to work with dobey (the icon-naming-spec maintainer) and other stakeholders in the community (e.g. KDE people) through the work I'm doing on HAL. Will keep you posted when I know more. [1] : Can be found in this source file - it's in the array called "hal_icon_mapping[]" just a few pages down http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-vfs/libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-hal-mounts.c?rev=1.34&view=markup > Lastly...I've made battery icons for PowerManager but the naming scheme > is nowhere to be found on Tango.

Yes, I'm pretty sure Richard Hughes, g-p-m maintainer, will refuse to cripple his software just becase the icon-naming-spec maintainer has this odd idea that only 'battery-caution', 'battery-low' and 'battery' should be used by g-p-m. I could be wrong (hope I'm not!), so I've Cc'ed Richard on this mail - Richard, can you confirm that g-p-m will stick to the gpm-* icons you already use?
