This is a GNOME program to manage devices and device drivers. It's
inspired by hal-device-manager, from the HAL project, but rewritten in
C for efficiency and an outlook to actually make it manage devices
rather than just show information.

ICON MANIFEST
-------------

As there are a bunch of different hardware, gnome-device-manager uses
a lot of icons. Some icons are defined in the icon-naming-spec [1] as
they are also used in the standard desktop, some are shipped with
gnome-device-manager itself as they are specific to this program.

The following is a description of all the icons used; this is provided
for graphic designers wanting to provide theme-specific verions of the
icons. Both 24x24 (for a tree view) and 48x48 (for details page)
versions of the icons are needed.


LEGEND:

           *: name is proposed for icon naming spec addendum
              for storage devices

          **: name is proposed for core icon naming spec

          OK: we have the icon in either this tarball or through
              the icon naming spec; e.g. a theme that is compliant
              with the icon naming spec will supply the icon

        HOLD: Wait; don't spend time drawing icons just yet; we're
              unsure what we need. Should be resolved quickly

   OK[<dep>]: we use the icon shipped in the "<dep>" package; for
              example OK[gpm] means that gnome-device-manager relies
              on the gnome-power-manager to be installed and supply
              the icon. If this is undesirable for distributors they
              can either patch gnome-device-manager to use a local
              copy e.g. gnome-device-manager-copy-<iconname> and make
              sure these icons are copied in.

Current deps for OK[<dep>] are listed here. This essentially
constitutes what GNOME packages are needed for gnome-device-manager
to work icon-wise

 gpm: gnome-power-manager

and of course one or more "Icon Naming Spec 0.8" compliant icon
themes.
