actually, libxfcegui4 installs an index.theme file for hicolor if it notices
you don't have one installed.  i propose we move all the settings icons
to xfce4-icon-theme, and install them to hicolor, of course.

for deps, we have two options:
1) install a .pc file.  this is kinda lame, but really, it'll work, and i
can't think of any reasons not to do it, aside from "it's kinda lame".
2) do nothing, and include in RPM .spec files and whatnot a dependency on
the package.  for other packaging systems, this means relying on the
packager to add the dependency.  if they don't we get spurious bug reports,
which is a pain.

so i'm in favor of #1.

oh, heh.  didn't get here.  yeah.  libgui does this
