I believe there is some specification for iconsets as used by kde and gnome. |
| 27 |
Kde for example provides icons for many applications, and there are also |
| 28 |
iconsets like the one from ximian that provide icons for most common |
| 29 |
applications. We probably want the ability to use those. That means that we |
| 30 |
don't want to overwrite those icons with whatever is specified in the ebuild. |
| 31 |
I don't care that much where they are put in the tree, that is an |
| 32 |
implementation issue. |
