Adam Reichold proposed the following answer:
Hello Richard,

qpdfview will already prefer to use any installed FreeDesktop.org-
compliant icon theme over its own fallback icons, i.e. it only uses the
SVG icons if no system-wide icon themes are found. There are two
exceptions to this: The application-specific icons which have no
counterpart in the icon naming specification. And depending on the
desktop environment or window manager you use, Qt will sometimes be
unable to detect your icon theme. (I think a user of LXDE was the first
to report such problems.)

However, there is a workaround for the second problem: You manually
specify the name of your preferred icon theme by setting
"iconTheme=nameOfYourPreferredIconTheme" in the section "[mainWindow]"
of qpdfview's main configuration file, usually located at
"~/.config/qpdfview/qpdfview.conf". (If you need more detailed
instructions how to do this, just ask or maybe try to search the archive
of the mailing list [1].)

Best regards, Adam.
