Yeah it would be kinda nice to rename it to freedesktop-icon-theme and
then symlink /usr/share/icons/freedesktop to /usr/share/icons/hicolor...
then gradually transition all apps using hicolor to use freedesktop instead.

This would be the &quot;right&quot; thing to do but I suspect that the gains are
not worth the pains... it would certainly clarify things a bit tho'.
