Are there any systems we care about where librsvg is not available?  Do
we think it is important to support these graphical icons on those
systems?  If the answer is yes to both of these questions, then I guess
we should count it as a regression.

(A priori, I think it sounds okay to expect users to build with librsvg
if they want to have graphical icons.  Presumably/hopefully all
distributions are already doing it.)

Perhaps fixing this it is as easy as moving/copying the old XPM files to
ui/<newnames>.xpm, but I'd need to test it as I didn't study the code
very closely.
