Public bug reported:

While it eases maintenance, svgs are partly causing problematic behavior
in Xfce. The two most prominent examples are the panel and its plugins
and xfwm4-tabwin (aka alt-tab). In either svgs result in ugly scaling,
converting the icons in question to png completely fixes that.

Converting the whole icon-theme wouldn't make sense, especially icons in 
*/symbolic have to remain svg to remain functional.
I'm proposing to convert at least the icons in apps/ and panel/
At the moment we're shipping the most crucial icons as svg and png, so another 
benefit would be that we could drop those duplicates.

Finally svgs are reportedly a bit slower than png in rendering with gtk,
while I'm not an expert as to how much the difference really is it might
be another argument to take into account.
