Bug Description

1. Compiz should prefer .svg icons if those can be found, because they can be scaled without any artifacts.
2. If no .svg version of the icon is found, Compiz should use the .png version with the highest resolution that is available.

I don't really want to pull in bamf as a compiz dependency at this point. The EWMH fits this purpose fine.

Additional dependencies are IMHO not needed. - Not only the Unity Switcher and Launcher get icon resolutions right, but also Docks like Docky, Cairo-Dock and others -> they do not depend on BAMF either -> so there must be a better way without depending on BAMF...
