When I work with Gramps 5.1.6 in Linux Mint 21.2 or LMDE 6, the status column in the Database Manager window doesn’t show the open folder icon for the active database: [Schermafdruk van 2023-10-11 15-19-51] The icon is visible in LMDE 5. Can I cure this by changing themes, or adding another char…

And here are some other odd things. The icon shows up in ubuntu 23.04 and ubuntu cinnamon 23.10.

And it also appears when I switch to theme Mint-X, or Adwaita, the theme that we include with Gramps AIO.
