xdg user dirs icons (was [ubuntu-art] xdg-user-dirts icon set for Ubuntu Human theme])

[Andreas Nilsson]

Hi Máirín!
It seems to work well in the Finder [1] sidebar as it gives the 
different places unique shapes.
My initial reaction to the ubuntu-folders-thing are that the shapes are 
very weak, so it seems to be more decoration than being actually useful.
This would probably be worth discussing upstream as well.
