Bug Description
If you boot the livecd and switch to the unity8 session, you'll note that some icons don't have icons.
For example, gucharmap and font-viewer.
You can test this locally by running "ubuntu-app-info gucharmap" and noting there is no icon path.
I looked into this a bit, and I think it's because Unity 7 uses GTK+ to lookup icons. And its default algorithm looks in Adwaita, gnome, and hicolor as fallbacks. Unity 8 uses Ubuntu App Launch, which only looks in hicolor and Humanity.

Hmm, after some further testing, some other app icons still aren't found after the attached branch is applied.
Digging into it.
