Hi. As the icon theme spec aims to be more general, the attached patch makes it refer to the naming spec for specific context. Maybe the naming spec should even mention that the list of contexts is not exclusive. I understand the contexts are there to help the theme author structure the set logically. cheers -- Jakub Steiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Novell, Inc.
