Hi, read over this post until now, so just a quick, late remark on that.
I don't think that we the name emblem is too bad or that we should be unhappy with the naming or even change it. One reason is that it is, at least I think, clear what an emblem is or at least what it looks like in the context of GNOME/Nautilus. Also we (at least if I didn't get anything wrong) don't want to provide a very general API for the composition/decoration of icons but want to use emblems for the special purposes which are relevant to gio, like the stuff with the icons for mounts or visualizing metadata. Especially for the latter the term emblem is not too bad I also because of the usage of the term for that in nautilus. Ok, if GEmblemableIcon is great english, I don't know either ;-).
