no, no, no, no, no.
The whole point of having Icons is that the visual representation
makes it easier to find the file you want easier than having to
read the text.  The icon is supposed to represent what the cdev/init
does.  the contol panel would be much more difficult to use if all icons
were the same.  You dont want all applications and documents to have the
same icon do you?  It would be nice, however, if the Finder would tell
you a file was an init, control panel document, chooser document, etc. when
you do a view by type or get info.
