Comment(by rlaager):

 N3fr0n, we're actually a "GPL version 2 or any later version" app. Are you
 okay with that licensing?

 Regarding the identification of icons, what specifically is put on the
 wire? Is it the "xstatus_filename" or the binary data? If it's the data
 rather than the filename, "engeneering" is spelled wrong. If it's the
 filename, well, there's not much we can do about that.

 This also gets into the ambiguities... If the protocol-level string is
 "xstatus_iron", I'd say we should ship an icon of an iron. The flip side
 of this, I suppose, is (and this is not rhetorical, if you know the
 answer, that'll help a lot), "Who came up with these names?" For example,
 if some third party client introduced "zzz" as smoking pot, then we should
 honor that (or not use it at all). (If they didn't, then "zzz" really
 should be sleeping, but we already have that.) I don't see how "cooking"
 is a trash can or "mobile" is smoking either.
