So claws is secting an icon called "edit-clear" and there is only one
icon with that name in the /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/48x48/legacy/
directory. There are lots of (30) icons with names that start with
"edit-clear-" and then include some other text such as "all-symbolic" or
"rtl-symbolic" or "symbolic-rtl" or "symbolic". Four of those icons are
'16x16' and four are 'scalable'.

Without knowing much about the subject it seems like the icon set has
changed and claws is consequently now loading an obsolete icon. I don't
know what the various flavours of icons look like but it seems like
modifying the code (line 7250 of compose.c) to load one of the more
complicated-named icons might be beneficial.

Maybe there's some gtk documentation somewhere that explains what icon
names are intended for what purpose?
