Hmmm.  Here's what I see:
  I have a panel of launchers at the bottom of the display.
  Right click on aoo launcher for writer, choose properties
  "Launcher" dialog displays with "OpenOffice Writer" as the only 
    entry in the "General" tab.
  Click on 6th button in the right column, "Edit the currently selected item"
  "Edit Launcher" dialog displays for Name: OpenOffice Writer
    Icon: is empty; click on it
  "Select an Icon" dialog displays
    "Select icon from:" drop-down is first item; 
      these are filters, not a way to navigate
    "Search icon:" entry field is second item;
      used to filter which icons display based on the text name of the icon
      has a button on the right used to clear the field
    I see no other data entries except for the display of possible icons.
Is this the same chooser you're using?
I tried everything in the settings manager and don't see an icon chooser,
although I may have not included it if it's optional in the xfce4 install
process.

I'll keep poking around.

Thanks
