Hi,


AFAIK the settings manager plugins have the icon filenames hard coded in
the source. The icons themselves are installed into the hicolor icon
theme by the packages that provide these plugins. For example, the
package xfce-mcs-plugins (or xfce4-mcs-plugins) installs the following
icons into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/(scalable|48x48)/apps:

xfce-filemanager.(svg|png)
xfce4-display.(svg|png)
xfce4-keyboard.(svg|png)
xfce4-mouse.(svg|png)
xfce4-ui.(svg|png)

Note that you might need to restart the xfce-mcs-manager process (or
simply log out and back in) to see the changes in the settings manager
UI after modifying these files. You might also want to offer your
new-and-improved icons to be included upstream before substituting them
locally in the Xubuntu packages. The xfce4-dev list [1] would probably
be the right place for this.
