Then icon-naming-spec needs a new maintainer if it is going to be suitable for the way gnome-vfs works. I also find it worrying and arrogant that you first say that "changes to icon-naming-spec needs to be accepted by everyone and their grandfather" only to go ahead and _break_ the spec, e.g. rename drive-cdrom to drive-optical. > But any discussion regarding that > doesn't really belong on this list. I think it's extremely on-topic to discuss why icon-naming-spec is something we want for GNOME 2.16 when the maintainer states don't want to take patches for something that gnome-vfs needs. I dare you to answer the questions I posted earlier, specifically So you want GNOME and KDE to both individually come up with the icon name for e.g "Compact Flash media" because... you don't want that kind of detail in the spec? That's broken. and The last thing we want is for the desktops to come up with e.g. media-removable-kompaktflash and media-removable-gnompactflash because the icon-naming-theme maintainer is too stubborn to add these to the spec. That would be broken. Do you think you can do that? Thanks.
