Many icons were empty for long time now, but now I got annoyed and started searching.

Turns out that digikam cannot load theme icons without

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct

and possibly require qt6ct to set the icon theme.

Without that "pixmap is a null pixmap" litter the console output and icons are empty.

(I don't use KDE.)
