Just quoting bug 48636:

I have adwaita-icon-theme and hicolor-icon-theme in my system profile,
which I think makes some gtk stuff play nicer. I would suggest
installing them if you don't have them. I also have
gnome-themes-standard and gnome-themes-extra, so those may also be worth
installing if the other things don't do the trick.

Perhaps the hicolor icons should be made a dependency so users don't
have to figure this out on their own. I recall another package getting
that treatment a while back.

End quote

Perhaps dino should have hicolor-icon-theme as a dependency.
