I also think that all folders should use the same basic "folder" picture, with 
whatever else added on top. That way a user can distinguish between a folder 
and an executable. After all, all mimetypes have the same basic apperance - 
so why should folders be any different?

As an example; look at settings:/ - how do you know when another level of the 
heirarchy is going to be opened, or a Kcontrol module started?

Craig.
