icon theme directory layout

[Brian J. Tarricone]

hi all-

i'm playing with GtkIconTheme a bit more, and there's a bit of a 
problem.  there's the easy quick-and-dirty non-standard-compliant 
solution: stick an index.theme file in each directory under 
/usr/share/xfce4/themes that points to itself.  this, however, is not 
standards-compliant  
(http://freedesktop.org/Standards/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-0.8.html#directory_layout).  
what we should really do is rearrange it so we have themed dirs that 
look like this (this will only look right with a fixed-width font):

/usr/share/xfce4/themes
  `-- Lush/
      |-- index.theme
      |-- scalable/
      |   `-- apps/
      |       `-- *.svg
      |-- 48x48/
      |   `-- apps/
      |       |-- *.png (48x48 images)
      |       `-- *.xpm ( "   " )
      `-- 24x24/
          `-- apps/
              |-- *.png (24x24 images)
              `-- *.xpm ( "   " )

the index.theme file is pretty simple:

[Icon Theme]
Name=Lush
Comment=The Lush Theme
Directories=scalable/apps,48x48/apps,24x24/apps
[scalable/apps]
Size=48
Context=Applications
Type=Scalable
[ ... and so on ... ]

this is the "right way" to do it, and i wouldn't mind doing the tedious 
work of reorganising everything.  well, ok, i'm not really looking 
forward to it, but i'll do it anyway.

so, what do we think?  and if i do move them, how should i do it?  just 
do 8 million cvs removes/adds?  of course we lose the cvs history by 
doing that... but then again i somewhat doubt that the icons have all 
that much history...
