Bug ID: 444396
Summary: Some categories use icons based on appearance rather
than meaning

the same icon is used where meanings differ greatly
SUMMARY
Some categories in System settings use the same icon for 2 different functions.
This may be due to choosing an icon based on appearance (in the Breeze icon
set, specifically) rather than the meaning of an icon. Since other icon packs
may have other interpretations of how an icon should look, this can produce
unusual appearances with themes that are different from Breeze.
E.g. in sidebarview Regional Settings and User Feedback use the same icon but
have different meanings. Papirus icons, for example, uses a different
appearance.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Choose a different icon theme (e.g. Papirus)
2. Observe the sidebarview
3. e.g. under Personalization where an icon is used twice
OBSERVED RESULT
The same icon is used, under sections of different meanings
EXPECTED RESULT
The same icon should be used when sections have identical meanings
