Where to put pixmaps

[Orion Poplawski]

The latest apcupsd ships a Gtk gui and by default installs the following 
pixmaps:

%{_datadir}/pixmaps/apcupsd.png
%{_datadir}/pixmaps/charging.png
%{_datadir}/pixmaps/gapc_prefs.png
%{_datadir}/pixmaps/onbatt.png
%{_datadir}/pixmaps/online.png
%{_datadir}/pixmaps/unplugged.png

The names are sufficiently generic enough to seem like this is a bad 
spot.  Is there a standard?  Don't see anything on the wiki.

Thanks!

Standards?  yes:

FreeDesktop.org does not pusblish standards, but proposals. According to 
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards, the "Icon Theme" spec is quite 
agreed, but the "Icon Naming" is too new.

What is the relationship between Fedora and FreeDesktop.org?
What fd.o proposals should be considered as guidelines for Fedora? 
Has it been discuted by Fesco? Is there a Wiki page on the subject?

As far as I understand, FreeDesktop is more a guide for upstream developpers 
than for downstream.
