can't find any criteria currently that covers application icons (though do 
mention it if such a thing exists)...

At issue here are gtk3 applications that use non-standard (e.g. symbolic) 
icons look particularly bad on kde (or any desktop that doesn't use an icon 
theme that has does not have a fallback to gnome icon theme).  See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1018390 (*)
(includes screenshot), reported over a week ago without comment yet, so here 
am, soliciting feedback.

If gtk applications need a gnome-icon-theme fallback to be fully functional, 
then depending on the currently configured icon theme to do it feels like 
the wrong approach to me.

Kevin (Kofler) and I provided what I think are constructive and not 
unreasonable suggestions:
* restore Net/FallbackIconTheme support
* use a hard-coded gnome-icons fallback (instead of hicolor)

In particular, adding a hard-coded fallback to gnome-icons in kde is not a 
particularly pleasing option (as mentioned in the bug already).
