Missing icons in Fedora 14 Xfce

Hello world,

as you may already have noticed there are a lot of missing icons in the
Xfce desktop on Fedora 14.

The reason is that we are using gnome-icon-theme by default and it
switched to the 'new' XDG icon naming spec [1] a while back. In Fedora
13 GNOME had a lot of missing icons too and therefor the icon theme
included a lot of symlinks for backwards compatibility. These were now
removed.

We feel that following the XDG naming spec is the only way to go,
otherwise you cannot choose your icon theme freely but are stuck with
the outdated xfce4-icon-theme (no update since Xfce 4.4.something).

In order to move to the new icon spec we need your help. Please help us
to finding missing icons. So far we have identified:
      * Thunar and xfce4-places-plugin lack the 'Trash' icons, see 
        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=647734
        An update is available at
        https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/Thunar-1.0.2-4.fc14
      * thunar-volman, both in the menu ('Removable Drives and Media')
        and the preferences dialog. Update at
        https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/thunar-volman-0.3.80-5.fc14
      * xfce4-panel in the "Add new launcher" dialog
      * Thunar:
              * Main menu -> Preferences -> File manager
              * Thunar's Copy/Move progress dialog
              * Lots of mime types missing
      * xfdesktop: Left click on an image -> "Set as wallpaper"

Please report any missing icons you spot in F14 Xfce. Use the mailing
lists or Bugzilla at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=650504

Sorry for the inconvenience,
Christoph
