Hi Andre,

Thank you for this!

I haven't tested it yet but I will soon

Just a note about the icon themes:

The availability of symbolic icons in a theme depends on the theme itself.
Adwaita and Papirus (mising in your test, and will test myself) are probably
the most complete ones and I've been helping Simon with elementary-xfce adding
missing ones. 

Gnome icons is now obsolete and deprecated in favor of Adwaita. 

Faenza hasn't seen an update in years.

Numix and Moka being actively maintained should be able to have such issue
addressed.
