RPM and installed packages already provide enough info for that. IMHO for not-yet-installed packages the Group field is enough and it is more than likely that matching icon will already be installed (either in the hicolor theme or the icon theme you are using). For installed packages when it has some icon, than it most likely is displayed in menu, and the icon name is listed its desktop file. So, go and ask: "Can the PackageKit use for installed packages their icons listed in their desktop file (preferably using those provided by the selected icon theme) and if these are not available or the application is not installed yet, use generic icon matching the Group field of its rpm?" First, this needs only changes to PackageKit. Secondly, this does not need any additional resources (like some icon package with all the icons of all the packages available in fedora). And finally it helps the user to decide what is he trying to install/remove. Or, if the icon is intended to be displayed only for installed packages than it is even (a little) simpler... Martin
