AppStream:
- URL: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2016-February/004785.html
- Mostly upstream icon related issues. Icons need to be provided by the package or in the humanity icon theme. They must also be a minimum of 64px.

SGT Puzzles Launcher:

- URL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1641300

Pidgin theme:
