Yes Kudos.
This has been a forever "feature" that I just lived with.
I did look in the log files and saw no "missing something" hint.
I lived with a white block "pointer" but at least one needs to
be included in adwaita-icon-theme perhaps a "star" or something functional
for login to not have an identical file duplicated in two packages.

I have upgraded in place multiple times so it might be an update thing
and not a clean install topic.

Thank you.
