sean markham, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.
As per below, when checking to see what happens when removing the
package adwaita-icon-theme, apt warns it will remove core packages
required for a desktop environment. Hence, this issue isn't a bug, but
an instance of "I shot myself in the foot".
