Agreed. Too long have I battled with ridiculous icon names. Over in E
town, we're trying to get the icon themes to provide icons for the
file manager, but the majority of icon themes use hacks and links to
get them to work with a particular version of whatever. Now, you can
blame this on the icon packager, but part of the blame is in the spec,
for not outlining all the details.

That said, the whole spec needs a re-think and needs some serious
additions and rules.
