Hello,

Please, take a look at wm-icons project : <URL:http://wm-icons.sf.net/>.
This is a very interesting and coherent project : each application or
feature is named in a standardized way and the config shell script uses
symlinks to manage a coherent set of XPM icons in different aliases.
This project is used by fvwm2 developers...

My aliases (symlinks to icon sets
=================================

menu -> 16x16-general
mini -> 14x14-general
norm -> 48x48-general

This project sounds very good for XFce4. I like especially the coherent
sets to create a framework for easy configurable icon themes. I think
XFce could integrate the internal icons as symlinks to wm-icons sets
since it is very difficult to maintain a nice and coherent icon set.
