Thanks for formally closing this bug.  As far as purging the files is
concerned, we do already remove GTK icon caches from packages all over
the place, that would otherwise require gtk+:bin as native input, so it
*is* an option for saving a little space here and there.  That being
said, it is not strictly necessary, just an option if anyone is
sufficiently bored.
