           Summary: menus, panel, etc. do not support
                    "~/.local/share/pixmaps" when looking for images
           Product: Xfce
           Version: 4.2.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org

Since the idea of the ~/.local directory is to provide users with a place for
things usually placed in the install prefix, one would assume
"~/.local/share/pixmaps" would be used in any case where $instdir/share/pixmaps
(eg. /usr/share/pixmaps) would be, but it isn't.  I don't know if this was
intentional, but I would personally love this feature as it would allow for a
good user-writable place for icons to be used by custom menu items and such,
without having to use absolute paths, which prevents icon themes from providing
their own version of the icon.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put an icon in ~/.local/share/pixmaps
2. Make a menu item that uses that icon without absolute path
3. Look at the menu item
Actual Results:  
The menu item has no icon.

Expected Results:  
The menu item should have had the icon placed in ~/.local/share/pixmaps.
