We could, if the search *entirely* fails, retry again without
the icon cache (since paying the 100-200ms and 500k penalty
to load the icon cache is prohibitive, that probably means 
doing a ton of stats with all the directories and extensions
that the icon could have)

But what you can't do that way is catch when someone has misinstalled
an icon in a theme but the icon exists in the default theme.

Programs installing icons into an icon theme need to abide by
the rules of the icon theme spec.
