Yes, please.  It would be wonderful if a.g.o. would put a big, red,
blinking, scrolling message on the Nautilus section that says "If you're
using Gnome 2, go to the Icon theme section."  And then maybe call the
Icon theme section Icon/Nautilus 2 or something else not as stupid as
that.  For reference, I provide links to gnomesupport.org where people
have been tripped up by this.
