Hi Rodney and oher GNOME developers,

I've inserted SD MMC card in my computer and noticed, that GNOME always uses media-flash.svg icon instead of media-flash-mmc.svg, I also tried media-flash-sd_mmc.svg, media-flash-sdmmc.svg and media-flash-sd-mmc.svg but without success (I use Ubuntu 9.04). Could you tell me from where GNOME gets $type and what $type should be for SD MMC cards? I thought, that GNOME gets storage type from HAL, so, lshal command shows this info for my SD MMC card: storage.bus = 'mmc' and storage.drive_type = 'sd_mmc'

Also I've noticed, that in the majority of themes unmounted SD MMC card has the same icon as hard disk partition, I've added drive-removable-media-flash.svg and now GNOME uses this icon for all memory cards, could anybody tell me what exact names I should use for exact types of memory cards, for example CompactFlash, MemoryStick, SD MMC , etc?

Btw, it seems this bug is related to bug #436462 (have different icons for usb hardisks and pendrives).
