When loading icons to create the buttons and menus, xfce uses a function that is not really resizing icons and makes "absolute-path" loaded icons appear at their original size, and some of them an HUGE. As it also has some code available on the same function to do the scaling, I created a simple patch that loads the original image without scaling it and the forces it to scale using the code available. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xfce4-panel 2. install some package that has a huge icon (eclipse-sdk-bin on java-overlay for example) Actual Results: The icon displayed on the Development Menu is HUGE Expected Results: Icon should be of normal size Upstream bug is here: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9615
