The problem with epiphany-browser is a missing dependency on
gnome-icon-theme-symbolic (#705665).
I am using FVWM, and there are no problems with the icons in liferea and
epiphany-browser when the correct icon packages are installed.

Look at the reverse dependencies of gnome-icon-theme:
When you have a full GNOME installed, an attempt to uninstall
gnome-icon-theme removes half of GNOME.
The only case where the dependencies matter are for people like me who
use one or few GTK+ applications in a non-GNOME environment.
And there they really should be dependencies.
