This problem is more than superficial. Today when debugging digikam issues I ran an strace. In the strace, digikam was looking for PNG images for kipi-plugins but found none for the theme I am using (crsytalsvg). I'm unsure how the logic in the source code works, but I think when no image icon is found for the theme then the libraries look for common icon directories, such as hicolor, mono, locolor, etc. If that is the case, then every app package should create at some nominal icon images for those directories, even if not making any images for each theme.
