--- Comment #6 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
We investigated this in the Breeze room and I discovered it's a bit more
complicated than that. First of all, here are the icon names being used by the
KCMs in question:

- Mouse & touchpad: preferences-desktop-mouse (preferences, 32px, medium)
- KDE Wallet: kwalletmanager (apps, 48px, large)
- About This System: ktip (apps, 48px, large)
- Users: preferences-system-users (preferences, 32px, medium)
- User Feedback: preferences-desktop-feedback (preferences, 32px, medium)

The ones whose icon names begin with "preferences-" are using semantically
correct icon names that must not be changed. If the visual effect produced is
incorrect, it's a problem in the icon theme.

Breeze has 32px versions of these icons, but they're being displayed at 22px
size in the sidebar there. An improvement here is if the icon theme had 22px
versions of them so they didn't have to get re-sized. In Breeze Icons, that's
tracked with Bug 458055.

For KDE Wallet and About This System, they're using app icons, which only come
in 48px. So a similar resizing happens there.

For these, the ideal solution is for new icons named "preferences-[something]"
to be created, and then after they exist, the KCMs would ask for those new
icons by name.

The fact that these issues produce dramatically wrong results is still a
problem in the icon theme — even if it's just the Breeze icon theme with new
icons pasted over them. Since the new icons have different appearances (e.g.
more are monochrome), I'm not surprised that the results are weird.

The solutions are as I mentioned:
- The icon theme needs 22px monochrome versions of all the preferences icons.
- The icon theme needs new 22px monochrome preferences icons for KWallet and
About This System, and then the KCMs can use those new icons afterwards.
