I couldn't agree more about the icons being pretty bad, I purchased a copy of Xandros desktop 2.0 deluxe and the default icons were horrible, I don't like the xandros file manager much either because of the Windows9X explorer look to it but its nice not to have to use Konqueror as both the file manager and web browser any more.
I went to Everaldo's web site and downloaded the kde kristal svg icons, those look much nicer, there is also a plastik theme for Mozilla to make it look more like it belongs with KDE, I think it was called plastikzilla at themes.kde.org .
Overall though Xandros is very usable, I've not noticed the problem with the monitor resolution not going over 1024x768 but then I didn't try to get it any higher because thats what I use and I wasn't paying much attention to the Xandros installer really.
Overall my only real complaint about Xandros is that a lot of software is missing, I'm especially missing my KDEaddons and I'm not pleased that Xandros file manager is more of a stripped down Konqueror then an ehanced version.
