Hi!
About samba, ssh, ftp etc.
If you take a look at 
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/bat/orango-tango/status.png you can see that 
lapo already created those, but they are not in tangerine (yet). Right 
now, all the icons in tangerine follows the names in icon-naming-spec, 
but I'll start polluting tangerine with various applications icons 
really soon anyway, so I think those will get in at some point or another.
