--- Comment #18 from Wladimir Palant <ppk...@palant.de> ---
For me as an end user the problem is really that Krusader looks broken on
Ubuntu out of the box and there is no obvious way to fix that. Your question is
actually about the desired solution:

(1) Krusader only works properly with the Breeze theme so it should just force
that theme to be enabled for itself (what I've done in my local build right
now).
(2) KDE apps missing icons on Ubuntu is just the way it is, so nothing needs to
be done about that.
(3) Expecting icons that the theme might no have is wrong, so Krusader should
have fallbacks for the non-standard icons (in my understanding, Krusader 2.4.0
was doing just that but you don't consider that a good solution).

There are also some variants of the above solutions that I can think of:

(1a) Krusader should only force Breeze theme if it somehow detects that the
globally selected theme is incomplete. This can be as trivial as blacklisting
ubuntu-mono-* and Adwaita, with the assumption that people who changed the
default icon theme know what they are doing.
(1b) Krusader could fall back to Breeze for missing icons only (not sure
whether this can be done).
(2a) Krusader could warn on missing icons with instructions on how to switch to
Breeze, similarly to how it suggests installing konsole.
