Bug#254863: index.theme specifies "Context=Stock", which is not in the spec, and causes kde to give warnings about incorrect dirs...

[Dominique Devriese]

Package: hicolor-icon-theme
Version: 0.5-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

In index.theme, for the */stock/* dirs, index.theme specifies for example:
  [16x16/stock/data]
  Size=16
  Context=Stock
  Type=Threshold
While the fd.o icon spec ( http://freedesktop.org/Standards/icon-theme-spec/0.7/ar01s04.html ) specifies:
  Context
   the context the icon is normally used in. This can be used to
   e.g. let the user pick an specific type of icon. Currently used
   contexts are: Actions, Applications, Devices, FileSystems,
   MimeTypes.
KDE gives the following warning about it:
kdecore (KIconLoader): WARNING: Icon directory /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ group 48x48/stock/text not valid.

I don't understand either what the idea is behind the stock icons.

Care to explain ?

cheers
domi
