Yes, thats reasonable. But it explains nothing to an user, searching for 
an instant idea what this directories on his own computer mean. My point 
is the directory name should be at most descriptive. If someone searches 
on the computer she/he should simply look at directory names and get an 
idea. There are tousands of directories. No normal user tries to 
investigate further if it is not understandable at a first glance. If 
she/he sees art, paint, clipart or ...  thats is intuitive. (At least I 
hope.)

This was a try to find an association to "create" in google. We can not 
expect a user will know anything about "create". Asking the google is a 
good gauge.

I understood Craigs suggestion in this sense.

Hmm maybe not. I thought about a config file residing in /usr/share/art/, 
in which all interessted applications can put theyre application 
specific paths and more. But maybe this is as well possible with 
the current directory layout and it dont belong to the first question: 
"art-supplies" or something alternative.
