Bug Description

[The bug]
Galaxy icon style disappeared in LibreOffice 4.3.0 (from ppa) though the package libreoffice-style-galaxy is installed.

[How to reproduce]
1. Make sure that the package libreoffice-style-galaxy is installed.
2. Open Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> View.
3. Open Icon style drop-down list.

[What is expected]
The Galaxy style must be in the list.

[What happens]
There is no Galaxy style in the list.

P.S. I encounter this bug only in Ubuntu build of LO 4.3.0 installed from ppa. This bug is not observed in the LibreOffice build for windows.

Ubuntu 14.04 with all updates installed.
LibreOffice Version: 4.3.0.4 Build ID: 430m0(Build:4)
libreoffice package version: 1:4.3.0-0ubuntu1~trusty1

The Debian maintainer for LibreOffice approached me with an error in LO 4.3.0.x
(cf. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752531 , search for "icon selection")

When the config directory contains symlinks instead of real files, no icon themes are found, and the program closes with an error message when going to the options and clicking on "view".

An example for a symlink looks as follows.
/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/images.zip -> ../../../../share/libreoffice/share/config/images.zip

FTR; typo in the bug URL (from me, probably): https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752541 is correct
