KWin still doesn't render icons... It doesn't render anything in the windows
you see.

There are some necessary changes to allow apps to handle this properly though.
Here's a list of what needs to happen for this to be potentially supported:
- the kernel needs some way of identifying displays with these special subpixel
layouts, and it needs to pass that information to userspace
- libdrm should be updated to add a value to the currently broken subpixel enum
(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/-/merge_requests/317)
- Wayland needs to be updated to add a value to its subpixel enum
- KWin needs to be updated to pass the subpixel enum from the kernel along to
clients

That's all the things that are relevant for KWin. If you want icons to be
rendered with the subpixel layout in mind (idk if that's even a thing right
now), then you also need to get Qt, GTK, Firefox, Chromium and whatever
toolkit/application you're using to handle that. And for fonts ofc, FreeType as
well as the projects using it need to be adjusted to support the subpixel
layout.
