Good, good, good. I've to update my test build.

BTW I'm grep-ing GNOME sources searching for named icons to port to new
icon naming standard. By now I've just a patch for gnome-menus
(attached) and a list of named icons used in nautilus.

Now, I like to open a bug against gnome-menus and propose this patch,
but currently gnome-icon-theme don't provide all Categories named icon,
at least not at all sizes.

Do you think is better: 
     A. open a bug against gnome-icon-theme ("Missing Categories icons")
        and make gnome-menus bug ("Port gnome-menus to fd.o icon naming
        standard") depends on it, or 
     B. make gnome-icon-theme (and GNOME Desktop 2.16) depends on
        tango-icon-theme, so we could fetch missing icons from Tango,
        or 
     C. wait ?

IMHO this is a great idea. Some time ago I was trying to desing a
capplet for a11y in desktop appearance, partially inspired to MacOS X
accessibility preferences. A shot is here [1]

There are a lot of new or retouched icons I've to commit on cvs... I'll
do in the next week.
