Dear Uri, Andreas, Dave, and every other contributor of Breeze,

you should never ever ever ever ever ever replace the well-known icons of 3rd
party applications with some totally different stuff you invented. Never!
Never! Never! Never! If your guidelines say otherwise, your guidelines are
crap.

By the way I took a look at the KDE HIG, and this is what I found in
https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/IconDesign :
" When creating an system icon theme, respect trademarks by avoiding
significant alterations to application icons. "
This basically says you shouldn't replace the icon of VLC with
https://github.com/NitruxSA/breeze-icon-theme/blob/master/Breeze/apps/48/vlc.svg
that doesn't feature an orange cone, and you shouldn't replace the icon of
VirtualBox with
https://github.com/NitruxSA/breeze-icon-theme/blob/master/Breeze/apps/48/virtualbox.svg
that I don't even know what it wants to symbolize.

Ergo, this bug is not invalid, and must be fixed ASAP.
