** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+ * A change in Qt resulted in lxqt-config's Appearance -> Icons Theme
+ view showing no icon themes. A blank list is shown instead, which is
+ confusing and a regression from 26.04.
+ 
+ * lxqt-config 2.4.0 (the version in 26.10) already has a fix, but this
+ fix is enabled at build time, and only enables itself when building
+ against Qt 6.11. The last build of lxqt-config most likely happened
+ before Qt 6.11 was uploaded. A no-change rebuild is sufficient to fix
+ the issue.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ * On a Lubuntu 26.10 system, install the updated lxqt-config package from 
stonking-proposed.
+ * Click on the Application Menu > LXQt Settings > Appearance.
+ * Click the Icons Theme item in the sidebar.
+ * Confirm icon themes appear.
+ * Confirm one can switch between icon themes successfully.
+ * Confirm other basic features of lxqt-config function as expected.
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ * Any bugs introduced by code that is conditionally enabled when
+ compiled against Qt 6.11 may be introduced when this is done. At the
+ moment, the fix for the icons theme bug is the only such code in lxqt-
+ config (see https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-
+ config/blob/20661be212e0dcd513ffa5d01717f73ed51d8ca0/lxqt-config-
+ appearance/iconthemeinfo.cpp#L53), so the above test plan should be
+ sufficient to catch such issues.
+ 
+ -----
+ 
+ Original bug report:
+ 
  On Lubuntu 26.10 (Stonking Stingray), the icon theme selection list in
  lxqt-config-appearance is completely empty, even though icon themes are
  installed in /usr/share/icons/.
  
  lxqt-config 2.4.0-0ubuntu1 includes the upstream code fix for the Qt 6.11
  strict parsing issue (issue #1188), but the package was built on 2026-04-30
  against Qt 6.10. Stonking subsequently ships Qt 6.11.2, so the binary needs
  to be recompiled against Qt 6.11 for the fix to take effect.
  
  Upstream confirmation:
  - Issue: https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-config/issues/1188
  - Maintainer (tsujan, Oct 19 2026): "If Qt >= 6.11 has come to your distro
-   recently, lxqt-config needs to be recompiled against it."
+   recently, lxqt-config needs to be recompiled against it."
  - 2.3.2 release notes: "Fixed too strict parsing of icon themes with Qt6.11,
-   which caused an empty icon themes pane in lxqt-appearance."
+   which caused an empty icon themes pane in lxqt-appearance."
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open LXQt Configuration Center → Appearance → Icons Theme
  2. The list is empty despite icon themes being installed.
  
  System info:
  - Lubuntu 26.10 (Stonking Stingray)
  - lxqt-config: 2.4.0-0ubuntu1
  - Qt: 6.11.2
