That sounds inherently wrong unless the application adds icons to specific
themes. Icons that are specific to an application are (almost) by definition
not part of a theme, so expecting QIcon::fromTheme() to return them seems a bit
of a misunderstanding.

Why? Why not do as Kate and use QIcon(":/icon-from-rcc") instead of
QIcon::fromTheme() for app-specific icons that should be independent of the
user's icon theme choice, and ::fromTheme() for those icons that are supposed
to reflect his/her choice of theme?
I don't think there's any need whatsoever to duplicate (reimplement) the logic
of icon themes. AFAIK, QIcon::fromTheme() will work anywhere once you define an
icon theme search path and the expected icon theme is installed somewhere in
that path.
BTW, am I right that using a builtin binary rcc icon set could make you lose in
terms of memory (RAM) footprint overhead what you gain in terms of disk space
overhead?
