IIRC this is one of the problems I had with GtkIconTheme.  I think
there's a certain threshold after which GtkIconTheme won't scale icons
up (the rationale being that it looks ugly).  If that's still the case,
I can add a little code to xfce_themed_icon_load() to check the icon
size and rescale if needed, but I'm not sure that's the best idea, both
for lack of ugliness, and speed.  Thoughts?

Actually, that *would* be cool.  I haven't yet seen a systray icon that
actually resizes itself when the tray gets larger (not that I've seen
many).  Perhaps we should do as the tasklist does and spill out into two
rows if the panel size is large enough.  It would be a nice space-saver.
