Ok, I apologise. It is not written clearly on the website at all. You
can find it here:

http://members.home.nl/xfce4/documentation/xfce4-install.html#id2454838

"Optionally you can install librsvg >= 2.2, for SVG icon support, and
libstartup-notification, to have a busy cursor when loading applications
that support this standard."

It's not a run-time dependency, BTW, it is a build-time optional
dependency.

I'll ask the website maintainer to add a note about the optional
dependencies.

Please, accept my apologies, I replied without checking the facts :(
