I think it works as inputs because of our wrappers (perhaps
XDG_DATA_DIRS)?  But it's kind at odds with our policy which is to let
users manage icons themselves.

Probably because of #20255 that wouldn't help currently (system and user
profiles are not merged), but if we fixed that bug we could make the
situation better by adding 'hicolor-icon-theme' to the default packages
of our desktop system templates.

Thanks,

Maxim
