I agree with the other Dmitry: this bug is valid and should not be closed.

On X11, there *is* a (semi-)DE-independent way to figure out the icon theme
name: it's the XSettings mechanism (supported by at least GNOME, Unity, Xfce
and LXDE). There even exists an XSettings implementation in the latest qtbase
versions, it just needs to be used by QGenericUnixTheme's themeHint() method.
