Firejail and upgrade from gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.12>gdk-pixbuf2-2.44.2-1

The recent upgrade in gdk-pixbuf2 causes this error when loading apps with firejail:

Gtk-WARNING **: 10:26:00.484: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

Which seems to make apps lose their upper left icon.

EDIT: looks like there's a huge amount of scope creep with the new gdk-pixbuf2 package that is causing a lot of unwanted sandboxing across the environment. I will be downgrading to an earlier package for now.

I had either this or a similar issue, had to downgrade to 2.44.1-3 before evince would work while on latest version of apparmor and apparmor.d-git from aur.

I have this issue with transmission-remote-gtk under firejail, works fine otherwise:

This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.
