Apps missing symbolic icons

Hi,

At the working group meeting today we agreed to attempt to upstream
symbolic icons where possible, and apply downstream patches where need
be. Here is a list of applications installed by default in F22 that
are missing symbolic icons. I have BCCed a few maintainers. If you are
on BCC you'll find one of your apps below: most likely you have a
patch in from Jakub in Bugzilla that you have not applied, but perhaps
you haven't released since applying the patch, or perhaps did not
backport the change to the gnome-3-16 branch (please do so!). Another
possibility is that we missed your release and just don't have it in
Fedora yet. The symbolic icons are used in the app menu and so are
necessary for your application to integrate properly with GNOME 3.16.

Boxes
DevAssistant
Disks (gnome-disk-utility)
Document Viewer (evince)
Empathy
Firefox
Font Viewer
Image Viewer (eog)
Install to Hard Drive (anaconda)
LibreOffice Calc
LibreOffice Draw
LibreOffice Impress
LibreOffice Writer
Notes
Passwords and Keys (seahorse)
Shotwell
Transmission
Videos
Weather
Problem Reporting (abrt)
Screen Reader (orca)

All of the GNOME apps above have patches in Bugzilla, so we will
either push them upstream if maintainers are unresponsive or perhaps
apply them downstream if need be. The following apps may be more
problematic, because I am not sure whether or not symbolic icons exist
for those applications:

DevAssistant
Firefox
Install to Hard Drive
LibreOffice Calc
LibreOffice Draw
LibreOffice Impress
LibreOffice Writer
Problem Reporting (abrt)
Shotwell

Jakub, have you by chance created icons for any of these apps?

For Firefox, we need to compose a nice request to <
trademarks at mozilla.com> explaining that their color icon displays very
poorly in our environment.
