Ah, okay.  The api gtk offers for loading symbolic icons is:

gtk_icon_info_load_symbolic()

GtkIconInfo is a helper object specific to GtkIconTheme.  It's always
associated with a GtkIconTheme object.  If you load something off disk
from a specific path instead of from an icon theme, then you aren't
getting it from a theme, so there's no GtkIconTheme object and no
GtkIconInfo. I guess an argument could be made for adding a
gtk_icon_info_new_from_file api.

Note, all gtk_icon_info_load_symbolic is doing is something like

return gdk_pixbuf_new...('<svg><style>/*stylesheet made from passed in
colors*/</style><include href="icon-name-symbolic.svg"/></svg>');

So St could probably just do that itself if there was a need for
st_texture_cache_load_symbolic_gicon or whatever.
