Themes can inherit from another, i.e. default to another theme's icons
when some icon is not provided.  This might be a GNOME vs. XFCE thing,
but Delft's coloured folder icons work fine on the former.  You might
want to check upstream whether they do in fact support XFCE.  It could
however also be related to the SVG situation; if those folders only
exist as SVGs and they're not supported, chances are that a fallback
will occur as well.
