Hi Andreas,

Ah thanks!  I wasn't quite sure.  The format-justify-last-right...is 
basically when your text is justified with the last line aligned right.  
To me, it's a bit different than justify-fill...which means that the 
whole paragraph is justified even if the last line only has three 
words...looks a bit goofy when three words take up the whole width of a 
page. =)  Just thought I'd include it if a text editor might need it.  
But yes, your suggested names make much more sense.

Ok...Is USB ok?

Ok, will use the fd.o list for now.  For additional icons, should the 
names be submitted to the XDG mailing list or tango-artists list?

Yup...That looked like the way to go.

Thanks,
