Yes, Rodent theme (provided in xfce4-icon-theme) is not fully freedesktop.org compliant, and Xfce 4.6 needs that. So xfce4-icon-theme (4.4) is deprecated and there's no project to have an xfce4-icon-theme 4.6 for the moment. > > Have I messed up my configuration somehow, or should > 'xfce4-screenshooter-plugin' depend on a package that provides its icon, > such as 'xfce4-icon-theme' or 'gnome-icon-theme'.

I'm not really a fan of depending on gnome-icon-theme for a small package like this (even if a lot of people already have it installed). I'll talk with the upstream developer about that. Stay tuned.
