Fair enough.  As someone then (almost) suggested, have
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/{pix,bit}maps both be symlinks to
/usr/share/icons and keep all icons there.

Alternatively, use the second option: allow icons to live in both
the /usr/X11R6/include/X11/{pix,bit}maps directories and
/usr/share/icons.

What does Branden think?
