MIME type icons aren't working in KDE file dialogs again, or in Dolphin. 
  I JUST fixed that within the last six months, and it's already broken 
again.

Our in-house Qt file dialogs have no icons for anything, making it hard 
to distinguish a file from a directory.  MusE Score has the same problem.

If I let Qt use native file dialogs, I get KDE dialogs that are themed 
by Rosegarden in various detrimental ways.  This phenomenon occurs with 
some dark-themed commercial software I bought, and is not exclusive to 
Rosegarden.  When Qt uses "native" file dialogs, and the native platform 
is based on Qt 5, then these bad interactions are possible.  A true 
native dialog should take all of its style cues from the platform, not 
the parent launching the dialog.  I'm not sure if this is a design 
choice or an oversight, but it makes running Qt software on KDE 5 annoying.

The "Thorn" style has code to replace certain default icons with our own 
custom icons.  These are used in information and warning dialogs, for 
example.  That code no longer functions for some reason, and these 
dialogs take their icons from the underlying platform instead of using 
the ones we specify.  These native icons do not coordinate well at all, 
and look very bad.

There are assorted other minor problems as well.  I haven't taken time 
to enumerate them yet.
