Missing icon (alias) `adw-entry-edit-symbolic`

AI summary

The `Adw.EntryRow` in the newly released platform 9 is missing its pencil icon. This is because libadwaita has changed the icon name from the standard `document-edit-symbolic` to a more specific `adw-entry-edit-symbolic`, which is not being found. The issue is likely a simple mapping or configuration problem with icon names.

Client quits immediately after launch

The `Gtk.main()` function, which kept the GTK 3 client running, was removed and not replaced with the GTK 4 equivalent `GLib.Application.hold()`. This causes the application's main loop to terminate prematurely.
