Yes, IMO this is a problem. The related icons, should be included in the wmaker 
package (tarball). If the icon doesn't exist, it shouldn't be used in 
configuration files. The wmaker-data and wmaker packages are based on upstream, 
and then they have the same problems (or more, because I am the maintainer ;-) )

Yes, but, IMO, we should include "legacy" icons. Probably we shouldn't use them 
in the config files, but include them in the tarball. Icons are small pictures. 
If someone wants use old feeling, the icons are included.
