If you only type the icon name, the panel will try and use a themed 
icon. E.g., choose 'custom...' from the list and type 'xfce-mail'. This 
is not a good example, since it is probably not available in most 
themes, but you'll get the idea. Maybe something like 'email' or 
'gnome-mail' would work better.
