It's the complete list of themes that are currently installed that can
take ages to find. The list itself should also be small.
SOLUTION:
Find them during idle time, and finish the job async when the dialog is
started. Monitor the icon paths for the installation of new themes.

complex searches. Searching for icons that don't exist is what
takes the longest, as the FDO algo means we have to look through all
the directories, in this theme, and the next theme.
SOLUTION:
e_app_icon_add() should be used everywhere, and it should register a
rectangle for use by the icon. The caller then shows an empty icon.
A thumbnailing style process then does all the searching, and does

this method.
The results of the search should be cached somewhere on disk for
future reference. That needs to be nuked when the user changes
icon theme. Changing the icon theme currently does not update all
displayed icons. The X-Enlightenment-IconPath field of the .desktop
file could be used for the on disk cache.
displayed icons, it just does a restart like wm theme changing does.
The X-Enlightenment-IconPath field of the .desktop file could be
used for the on disk cache. X-Enlightenment-Icon-Theme and
X-Enlightenment-Icon-TimeStamp can be used to determine if the icon
path stored on disk is out of date, or in a different theme. An
idle task can go through all the .desktops in
~/.e/e/applications/all and check if the icons need updating. The
spec allows caching of dirs, and we can monitor just the top level
icon theme directory.
