bug#69463: 29.2; Isearch help icon has inconsistent size

With the hope to help others, I have managed working around the issue.
This involves going through Options->Customize Emacs->Options Matching
and then entering `x-gtk` in the modeline. In the customization buffer that opens, search for X Gtk Stock Map and then for 'help-browser'. Substitute 'help-contents' for it in "Named". Then save state so that it is used in the following sessions too.

Apparently, there is a lack of coordination on how icons should work between the breeze developers and the gnome/gtk community regarding who should be in charge of sizing the "scalable" icons to the correct size and how to pass hints about this.

My understanding is that breeze developers do not think that this is a bug on their side and that emacs should care of displaying the icons at an appropriate size.

Can you please help me understand the way in which it is "system dependent"?

Where are the I-search toolbar icons sought on the system? Is it emacs
installing them or are they supposed to be system or theme provided icons?

This is what I see while resizing the frame: when decreasing the width
of the frame then I-search toolbar icons get removed one by one
from the right side of the toolbar, so the toolbar never overgrows.

That is definitely a life buoy, but not the life buoy that is shown as
the help icon when I press CTRL+s. In fact, it is the life buoy that I
see in most emacs screenshots on the internet. Most important this one
seems to have the right size.

I don't see this life buoy on GTK.

I need help on the following points:

- Why is that breeze icon being picked? Is there a way to force emacs to
use its own icons? Theming would be nice, but done in this way, with a
wild mixture of breeze icons and native emacs icons it is simply messy.

- Why is that breeze icon not scaled? All other applications on my
system appear to scale their icons consistently.

I don't know how that breeze icon looks like.  What I see is
an icon with a blue question mark.

My issue seems to be the same as
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=23847#31.
The whole thread is interesting.

Thanks for the reference.  It could help anyone
who knows how to fix this bug.
