IMHO Another task to do in 2.20 timeframe is clarify the emblem
question.

### The Issues ###

There are several issues here (not all fixable in g-i-t). The current
status is:
      * g-i-t is shipping a lot of emblems: legacy emblems and INS[1]
        emblems
      * not all INS emblems are in g-i-t; not all sizes are available
      * if I'm right, by now only Nautilus and F-Spot are using emblems
      * Nautilus grabs emblems at wrong size
      * Nautilus has bugs getting emblem names
      * other...

Besides, with emerging xdg-user-dirs spec/utils/approac, could be
interesting provide emblems (or another mechanism[2]) to identify
special dirs.

### The Ideas ###

So, any idea? Well, except burn all and start from zero...

[1] INS := Icon Naming Spec
[2] for example use named icons, not emblems: folder-movies,
folder-documents, folder-projects...
