Sure. You'll find it attached.

OK. I'll take another look then. I want to get some agreement on
standard names so I can start moving gnome-icon-theme to that standard.
At that point, I want to do something like you have done here, so that
we can install symlinks for the icons to work in at least both KDE and
GNOME at the same time.

Hrmm. I just looked on the archives page to find it, and it looks like
the archiver didn't deal well with the message being gpg-signed. :-/
I'll forward you a copy to read.

The Icon Theme Spec was basically designed for theming the icons in the
"Programs" or "Applications" menus, and not so much really for theming
everything else. Or at least, this is what I got out of it when I read
it through.
