Public bug reported:
All naive (and most savvy) users will find it extremely hard to find
icons to customize the appearance of an entry in Nautilus.
When the entry is right clicked, the properties popup shows the present
icon as a button that has to be clicked on in order to choose a new
icon. Whether that is obvious enough or not is not the problem, however.
The problem is that clicking on the button, far from offering a sensible
set of icons to choose from, simply opens a file chooser poiniting at
the user's home page.
I'd venture than less than 1% of the users will be able to find that the
alternative icons hang in a confusing jumbled tree from
/usr/share/icons.
Possible solution:
The file chooser should open on the relevant subdirectory of the
usr/share/icons tree, if possible in a pictorial view of the icons instead of a
dry list of files.
