xfce icon question

[Alex]

Hi Boris,

great thanks for the patches !  The patch for git master will be
suffficient.

Could you please attach it to the bugreport mentioned by Andre Miranda: 

https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11149

.. just to make sure it is not lost.
Please create your patch with "git format-patch", like that it is
simpler for us to apply it, and to give credit to the author.

Hope I will find time this weekend to test/review the patch.

Cheers,
Alex
