GIcon image provider is deprecated

 

Hi,

There's a QQuickImageProvider for image://gicon/ urls in
ubuntu-ui-toolkit which turns serialized GIcons into images that QML
can display. It is deprecated and I want to remove it before 13.10, as
it's not documented, not tested, and also just a bad idea in general.

If you maintain a project that uses it (or know of one), please port
it to use more "native" urls for your images (file://, http://, etc.).
If you need an icon from a theme, use image://theme. I'll gladly help
porting if you run into any issues.

Cheers,
