Hehe, though you at least didn't start the panel rewrite while we're
trying to stabilise for 4.4.  Anyway, good to have your support.

The nice thing about this is that GtkIconTheme (in recent gtk versions,
at least) is able to use the binary icon cache to speed things up a bit,
though it's unclear as to whether or not icon rendering takes up the
more time than icon lookup.  Anyway, it's mostly done, so...
