Fascinating! I've wondered about that bug for a while. I see that in
the chat, the following blog post was also mentioned, which describes a
little more about the problem:
https://brokkr.net/2014/02/09/gnome-crashes-because-of-a-missing-icon/
Have you asked the GNOME devs or checked the GNOME email lists to see if
this has been discussed? Unfortunate that simply adding the directory
containing the icons to XDG_DATA_DIRS doesn't fix the problem. Maybe
there's a different setting that needs to be configured? I'll bet the
GNOME devs would know more...
