I am going to second this, I do believe we should use generic names for
the icon stanzas. I searched the HIG to find some guidelines, but I did
not found one, maybe this should be asked at usability at gnome.org?

Using generic names, allows for easy theming of the complete system, if
the user changed theme, he would probably expects to use the new theme
were possible...

Just some thoughts,

Best regards,
