Feel free to triage them and point me to the important ones.

The slider not working anymore is most likely an XI2 regression in GTK3
(which I can reproduce), the missing icons is a missing dep on
gnome-icon-theme-symbolic that should be lower down the stack and the
crashers I haven't looked into (though I would endeavour they are kernel
regressions crashing PA).
