Neither way, I think introducing the notification-* prefix in the icon
packs is good, but it makes other things look inconsistent. Maybe
someone should be thinking about cleaning up the names.

Example: you now use notification-*. There are still a lot of files with
nm-* (network manager). Either way then it should be ntf-* (or something
like that for notification) or what would be better is using
networkmanager-* which makes icon sets more clear.

On the other hand there should always be a fall-back for those
notifications. It should not depends on a theme i think... Maybe there
should be at least a textual fall-back.

At last, the icons should indeed be included in the Gnome theme as Mark
Shuttleworth stated above. I heard rumors about adding them to the high-
color theme because every theme inherits from that theme. That should
NOT be done. It is called for a reason high-color and the icons
currently used for notify-osd are NOT high-color icons.

Status in Canonical's Notification Display Agent: Confirmed

Bug description:
osd-notify uses its own icon namespace. There are Canonical icons in the Human 
theme those those slots, but not yet in the GNOME default theme. The icons in 
the Human theme should not be used in the GNOME default theme, separate 
GNOME-default-style icons should be placed in the GNOME-default theme, and 
licensed appropriately.

Symptom description:
Apparently notify-osd takes over compiz's volume osd, but the problem is that 
it doesn't work. When I used the volume control buttons on my keyboard, all I 
see is a empty black box in the top-left corner of the screen. I'm currently 
unable to visually tell what the volume is.
