Match up well known entries in the file system with specialized icons stored in Tracker's resources

Special folders such as home, preferences, system get an overlay. However, their actual on disk icon remains a generic folder. If a user were to drag one of those special folders onto LaunchBox, the overlay would not be shown. That is unexpected.

Would it be possible for LaunchBox to retrieve the specialized icon? ​http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/kits/tracker/IconCache.cpp#n666

Actually, this should be fixed in BNodeInfo::GetTrackerIcon(): it should already return the icon Tracker would use.

Not sure if LaunchBox is already using that method, though.

Why is this hardcoded in Tracker anyway? Shouldn't the folders get an icon attribute instead?

I confirm that LaunchBox uses the BNodeInfo::GetTrackerIcon() to render the icons.
