There already is a bug open for this[1]. The problem is: We cannot just
let xfce4-panel provide the icon because the name 'system-suspend' is
too generic and probably will create a conflict with any icon theme that
includes the icon.

On the other hand, icon themes will only include the icon when it is
part of the xdg icon naming specification [2]. Changing this may take a
while.

In the meantime, we IHMO should just look how the icon is named in GNOME
and patch the affected Xfce components. Together with the Fedora icon
theme we then have at least the default theme complete.

Kind regards,
Christoph
