For example, it could read from values from ~/.config/xfce4/desktop.xml (or from icons.screen#.rc) as:

        <option name="icons_size_default" type="int" value="48"/>
        <option name="icons_grid_auto" type="int" value="1"/>
        <option name="icons_x_grid" type="int" value="44"/>
        <option name="icons_y_grid" type="int" value="44"/>

(or something equivalent, for the matter).

Also would be cool to have on ~/.config/xfce4/icons.screen#.rc a list of icons on desktop where you could customize the size of some icons.

nah, just edit xfdesktop/src/xfdesktop-icon-view.c

what i use:

#define DEFAULT_FONT_SIZE  7
#define DEFAULT_ICON_SIZE  16

#define ICON_SIZE         (icon_view->priv->icon_size)
#define TEXT_WIDTH        ((ICON_SIZE << 1) + (ICON_SIZE >> 1))  /* aka 2.5x */
#define CELL_PADDING      4
#define CELL_SIZE         (TEXT_WIDTH + CELL_PADDING * 2)
#define SPACING           4
#define SCREEN_MARGIN     4
#define CORNER_ROUNDNESS  2

Where can I find xfdesktop/src/xfdesktop-icon-view.c
