Re: [PATCH] fdo#42779: Implement icon theme lookaside directory

From bugzilla (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42779):

Currently if an artist wishes to do some icon theming they have to run some
scripts when they save an image to re-pack (by zipping) their icon theme of
interest, and then re-start LibreOffice. That is a bit of a pain.

It would be lovely if the icon loading code could support a look-aside
directory tree beside the icon-theme, and preferentially load from there if it
is present.
