Great, now when does Firefox, Thunderbird, The GIMP, Gaim and 
OpenOffice.org plan to support this scheme? Before they do (and I have 
no doubt that they will eventually but it might take years) this is 
still a perfectly valid concern, especially since all but one of those 
apps are in our default desktop.

I fully support the naming effort but it's not there yet so we need to 
be careful, we should also leverage the great work that has already been 
done by some of the FLOSS communitys finest artists, not to mention the 
large team they have already built to work on the Tango project.
