Bug Description

Looks like applications-other/gnome-other icon is being used when you create a directory, do you agree that gtk-directory should be used?

Actually it seems gnome-fs-directory is used, going by the appearance.

Per https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk3-Stock-Items.html#GTK-STOCK-DIRECTORY:CAPS it looks like we should actually use the named icon "folder" instead of "gtk-directory".

In the past, I have elected to use "applications-other/gnome-other" since it represented a generic applications folder. At this point, it would probably be an improvement to just use an actual folder.

Ah I see, so in your eyes the directory takes on an identity like the normal top-level ones do. For me I just create bogstandard directories whereever to store launchers, so I've always thought of them as generic directories.

Here is the patch to change the icon.
