Public bug reported:
### Affected version
GNOME Shell 45.2 on Ubuntu 23.10 (Wayland)
### Bug summary
When you switch between dark and light mode the icon theme is reset.
This also affects other theming options, such as the "Legacy
applications" theme option in Gnome Tweaks. I suspect that it also
affects the primary color settings, since I remember having it changed
to the default orange after switching from light to dark some days ago,
but I don't remember what setting I changed before this.
### Steps to reproduce
1. On Gnome Tweaks > Appearance, change the icon theme (I used Papyrus dark)
2. On the quick toggles, switch between dark and light mode
3. Switch again between dark and light mode
### What happened
The icon theme is changed to "Yaru-blue" and then to "Yaru-blue-dark"
### What did you expect to happen
No change to my icon theme, or at least use its light variant.
### Relevant info
Some `gsettings` options:
```bash
# After changing the icon theme
org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'prefer-dark'
org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Yaru-blue-dark'
org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme 'Papirus-Dark'
# After switching to light mode
org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'default'
org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Yaru-blue'
org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme 'Yaru-blue'
# After switching to dark mode again
org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'prefer-dark'
org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Yaru-blue-dark'
org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme 'Yaru-blue-dark'
```
