--- Comment #5 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Icon themes themselves specify what their fallback theme is. Being able to
override that but just for GTK apps was weird and confusing because the setting
then't take effect for Qt apps as well. That was one of the reasons why we
removed it.

Ultimately it's up to icon themes to set a sane fallback.

However I do see something we could do to improve the situation, given the
world we live in where there are 527603 crappy incomplete icon themes that
don't set their fallback to something sane (typically Breeze or Adwaita, which
can both be considered to be more or less complete).

We could make Breeze always be the ultimate fallback in cases where the
requested icon isn't even found in the icon theme's fallback theme.
