Alex, honestly I agree with the idea to have, for example, 22x22 pixels
icons under 22x22/<role>/ directories, at least from icon designer/theme
creator point of view.

But I've no idea about how this should impact on source code in
applications and in Nautilus. Try to contact jimmac (I can't do it, I'm
going to vacation for the next month. See you in September), I know he
(and/or other icon makers) was trying to do something to fix the emblem
issue.
