Why not try it and find out? ^_~  Those should work ok, though be aware 
that there is no standard for the icon names, so Xfce things may in some 
areas be expecting icons for particular categories that the particular 
theme doesn't provide, or provides under a different file name.  No way 
around this really, unless you want to start symlinking.
