Comment 6 for bug 1365408

I've added support for X-Ubuntu-SymbolicIcon in indictor-messages to get around the problem Renato described.

However, I'd like to get rid of that patch and make applications use the theme again. Processes that open one application icon tend to open a bunch of them, so they benefit a lot from the icon cache. Also, we already have specified ways for dealing with symbolic icons, overrides, and fallbacks; all of which we're losing with this change.

This bug doesn't give a proper rationale for this change. If it is because click packages are not allowed to install icons outside of their directory, I suggest making the installer unpack application icons and add them to the icon cache.
