[Utopia] Gnome VFS Icons

[Jono Bacon <jono jonobacon org>]

Hi all,

Forgive me if this has been suggested or implemented, but I installt he 
GNOME VFS Debian binary, and it struck me that when a user clicks on the 
Computer icon to see their drives, the icons for different drives should 
be different. As an example, if a partition is VFAT, this should maybe 
use a Windows icon, and if it is EXT2/3 it should use a different icon 
(I was going to say Linux, but I know EXT2/3 are used in other OS's 
commonly). It may be an idea to give the EXT2/3 partition the normal 
disk icon, and then simply make a Windows/Mac/OS2 partition have a 
different icon. At the moment that all have a drive icon and the name of 
the drive, but I cannot tell which partition is which as I use the same 
model drive.

The other thing to note is how to seperate USB storage devices that use 
VFAT or FAT as their filesystem. I assume you could check the HAL device 
class to determine this and change the icon to that of a device.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

	Jono
