If you're just testing on the desktop for eventual deployment on phone,
you can override the theme by setting a Qt env variable when you run the
app.
DESKTOP_SESSION=ubuntu-mobile

You need to manually install the ubuntu-mobile-icon package on desktop,
as they aren't installed with sdk.
/usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mobile
