SUMMARY
My icon theme is Newaita installed from kde store.
As you can see in my screenshot, some icons are missing in KolourPaint (nightly build installed from kdeapps repo) and konsole shows the error messasge "Icon theme 'Newaita' not found".


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install and set some third-party icon theme
2. open some nightly flatpak installed from kdeapps repo
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Flatpak
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
third-party icon theme is not found, some icons are missing in the app.

EXPECTED RESULT
nightly flatpak respects the third-party icon theme.


SOFTWARE VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.2
Qt Version: 5.12.0 beta3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.51.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Same problem affects the nightly build of ktorrent and elisa installed
from kdeapps repo.
Papirus icon theme was also tested.

Are your icons installed in ~/.local/share/icons (or ~/.icons)? If so, it's a flatpak bug (https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/2649). You can try running any app with --filesystem=~/.local/share/icons:ro (or ~/.icons:ro) like so: flatpak run --filesystem=~/.icons:ro org.kde.okular

My icon themes are installed in ~/.local/share/icons.

And it doesn't happen with applications coming from e.g. flathub?

We are currently packaging icon themes, it could very well be that it's just not supported.
