Dear u,
This is specifically running gnome-software in mate. About
gnome-software, the short and long description :-

Description: Software Center for GNOME
 Software lets you install and update applications and system extensions.

 Software uses a plugin architecture to separate the frontend from the
technologies that are used underneath. Currently, a PackageKit plugin
provides data from a number of traditional packaging systems, such as
rpm or apt. An appdata plugin provides additional metadata from
locally installed data in the appdata format.

And I know that gnome-software (upstream) is not going to be
supporting xpm explicitly.

>From IRC (on #debian-gnome) -

[03:10:09] <shirish> ximion: or it needs to also work on supporting
.xpm files as well.
[03:10:32] <ximion> .xpm files will never be supported
[03:11:16] <ximion> we decided to exclude applications shipping only
xpm icons on purpose
[03:11:17] <shirish> ximion: oh... so would need to file bugs so that
they also have .png files
[03:11:27] <ximion> yes, that would be helpful
