I use Fedora, so the folder locations on Debian might be a little
different, but here is what I do to find icons:

If you have gnome or kde installed on the same system, you can view the
properties of the icons in their menus.  This will tell you the command
to launch, a suitable name/description, and the location of the icon.

If you want to search for the icons yourself, try these places:
/usr/share/icons/
/usr/share/images/
/usr/share/pixmaps/
/usr/share/[name of application]/

If you cant find the icon and it is driving you crazy, search the web or
post a request on this forum.  Also, the "bluecurve" icons put out by
Red Hat are nice looking, if you ask me.  Since you are running Debian,
you might want to add them.  Run dselect or synaptic and search using
the keyword bluecurve.

XFCE is a different experience when you use meaningful icons.
