Agreed. But the Rodent icon set does not belong to any application in
particular. It has mime icons, stock icons, and practically all the
icons for all applications (right Francois?). 

Xffm, installs fallback icons someplace else. OK, I'll change that
someplace else to the highcolor theme. Changing the fallback theme
(fallback, not default) to the Rodent theme would practically put 80-90%
of the such theme into highcolor theme. Probably not a Good Thing.
Benny's idea sounds so much better.

I'm not too keen on copies, unless they are few and far between. The
panel should have no problem thus.
