This is useful when editing .desktop files. If the program I'm adding does not have its own icon, picking an icon from this list should mean that any icon scheme I use will supply an icon for the program.

The Icon Theme Specification has been in use now for a while, in several
desktops, including KDE and Gnome. However, there has never been any
centralized direction on how to name the icons that are available for use
by applications, when creating a theme. This has meant that artists have
historically had to duplicate many icons, in order for their themes to
work across desktop environments.
    </P><P>
This specification aims to solve this problem, by laying out a standard
naming scheme for icon creation, as well as providing a minimal list of
must have icons. Addendums to this specification will provide additional
icon lists for extended sets, such as devices and MIME types.
