time to do touch && gtk-update-icon-cache, with cache warm, average,
five runs: .166

time to do xdg-icon-resource..., with cache warm, average, five runs:
.270

62% slower. It'd be even slower if I had KDE installed, from a quick
glance over the script (or if I was running on a slower machine.) After
all, it's a shell script that runs sed on the path to walk it itself;
that *can't* be efficient.

I'm against silly standards that make the system less efficient for
no actual gain.
