Research direction

Reproduce the issue by opening Nemo through Firefox or another program on Mint 22.1, retrying because the failure is random. Compare the sidebar with a regular Nemo launch and trace the desktop launch path until the icon difference is isolated. Done means sidebar icons remain correct when Nemo is opened externally.
