--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <pointedstick at zoho.com> ---
Even using a distro package (e.g. libreoffice-kde) doesn't help in a KDE
environment, since under X11, KDE's window manager KWin always honors
_NET_WM_ICON instead of using the themed icons from the .desktop file. And in
vcl/unx/generic/window/salframe.cxx, LibreOffice sets _NET_WM_ICON to be a
really ugly, low-resolution icon.

It's particularly bad in Plasma, as the internal Breeze theme icon is just
wrong, too: https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=105866 See
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380508, particularly the picture:
https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=105866

But regardless, this is 2017; _NET_WM_ICON shouldn't be set to a 48x48 raster
image. We can do better than that.
