Remarks on Xfce4

I'm trying.. Hence I'm posting the questions I have because I can't
seem to figure it out. Isn't that what mailing lists are for?

I never said it was a bug, I'm just posing the question. I prefer not
to use the gtkrc files but in xfce3 they are generated
by the Setup menu. I can't find a way to change it even if I remove
them in 4. In order to get my custom color set that I've been using in
xfce3 I had to revert to using them

Let me rephrase that.. The project has not had an official released
yet. I'm just trying to make the statement that because of this we
might (hopefully) see the icon feature in the future.
