Sounds correct, but why should the icon theme replace the qpdfview
application icon? It is specific to the application and does not
represent a generic action or entity that should be themed but is rather
the projects logo.

Yes, the key is usually not there because we let Qt do the icon theme
detection. But adding it like

[mainWindow]
iconTheme=tango

will override that. (With "tango" of course being just an example.)
