BTW, I had forgotten to activate the paste-link button. This button is
now active in the current CVS. This will symlink what ever you have
cut/copied into the pasteboard into the desired location. The button is
underneath the normal paste button.

Yes. The bug is in libxfcegui4/xfce4-modules/mime-icons, due to last
minute changes to XDG spec. This is now fixed in CVS. There is still a
small bug with inheritances yet, but this might not be noticed.

Thanks for the bug reports. If there is no default for the theme you are
modifying (only Rodent, hicolor and gnome have defaults) send it along
and it may be included in the release.
