Description
I notice that when running rqt apps, like rqt_bag most of the icons are missing.
I am running a fresh installation of Ubuntu 20.04
Here is a screenshot of rqt_bag with missing icons:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the missing icons in rqt_bag on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 installation and compare the behavior before and after installing tango-icon-theme. The issue is resolved when the rqt application icons, including the remaining thumbnail icon, appear without manually installing that theme.
