i just committed my icon theme png/svg preference code, and as a side-effect,
also committed my new runtime detection for SVG.  personally, i think this
is sufficient, as it _definitely_ will not return SVG icons if gdk-pixbuf
doesn't support SVG.  someone just needs to make up a less-complicated icon
for the test, and commit it over top libxfcegui4/pixmaps/xfce-svg-test.svg.
it's revertable if for some reason nobody likes this method, but a) it would
be a hassle, b) i think this is a fine, low-risk solution.  thoughts?
