[ubuntu-art] A small suggestion

[Cyphase]

I don't mean emblems. I mean the directory icon being replaced by a
different icon, like in Finder on Mac. There's an icon for the Music
directory, Movies directory, etc. Same thing with the Desktop folder.
The emblem should be the directory icon.

Again, it's just an idea.
