Bug ID: 457581
Summary: [non-KDE] no icons unless a theme is explicitly

Product: dolphin
Version: 22.04.3

Screenshot of what dolphin looks like out-of-the-box
SUMMARY
When running dolphin on a non-KDE setup (in my case, swaywm), dolphin will
render no icons by default.
This is kind of a "known issue", and Arch's wiki describes a workaround:
installing qt5ct, picking an icon theme and then setting an environment
variable whenever running Dolphin.
While the workaround works, it provides a very poor out-of-the-box experience.
If a user has not explicitly chosen an icon theme, using _any_ icon theme would
be better than none. The initial impression is otherwise very poor, and even
using the wrong icons would give a better impression (those not using KDE
shouldn't be surprised by a theme mismatch anyway).
OBSERVED RESULT
All icons are blank. See screenshot.
EXPECTED RESULT
Render using any icon theme..
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Linux 5.19.0-rc7-asahi-2-1-ARCH aarch64 GNU/Linux
KDE Plasma Version: this issue is specific to non-KDE setups
Qt Version: qt5-base is 5.15.5+kde+r174-1, though this is not a new issue at
all
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It's possible the issue at hand is not Dolphin-specific an actually in some
dependency/framework that's in use here. If so, please let me know which
component that is and I can report to the correct place.
