Subject: xfce4: Executables having the name of an icon from /usr/share/icons are showed with that particular icon
Package: xfce4
Version: 4.6.1.3
Severity: minor

## Description
I you create an executable whose name is also the name of an icon located in /usr/share/icons, it will be showed in thunar with that particular icon.
This strange behavior doesn't have any harmful effects at all, it's purely cosmetic. It happens in rare and very specific occasions.

## Steps to reproduce this behavior:
We'll take an animated icon as an example, but it works with other icons.
/usr/share/icons/Tango/16x16/animations/process-working.png

Create a file with a shebang in it. (Any kind of shebang will be fine)
echo '#!/bin/bash' > process-working

Make it executable:
chmod +x process-working

Launch thunar and look at the file. It is now showed with the "process-working" icon.
