That answer is is skew to the purpose of my first question ;}
Perhaps I should have asked:

There seem to be a load of nice large icons under /u/sh/icons/mate/256x256/ that are classified by use at the next directory level: apps, devices, etc.
I assume you are referring to "/usr/share/icons/mate/256x256".Being in the "/usr/share/icons/mate" hierarchy seems to indicate only that MATE recognizes them as "legitimate" in some sense, not that they are _suitable_ for use on panels [ on my system, all default panel icons are 48x48].
Thanks for trying.
Cheers, David.
