well, yes .. this is the standard base icon set which, if implemented, makes 
your theme compliant with the (freedesktop.org) Icon Naming Spec.

the naming spec, due to being a standardizing specification, does not include 
customizations such as distro specific icon names.

however, it would probably be nice to collect all of those somewhere. probably 
no one has had the time / motivation to do so, is all.

as for applications, that's probably as easy as installing as many apps as you 
can and then do something like:

for i in `find /usr/share/applications/ -name '*.desktop'`
    do grep Icon= $i  | sed "s,Icon=,,"
done

the list should include all the application icons that get looked for.
