There is some discussion about this in <https://bugs.gnu.org/29905>.

In short, the problem is that Qt icons hide under the search path
QT_PLUGIN_PATH, which is not automatically set up for dependent programs
(see <https://bugs.gnu.org/22138>).

Diego: can you try to wrap qTox as in commit
990e93fce16a83e1603b9ec28123ec3edc7ea787 instead of propagating?

TIA!
