Upgrade to 22.04 changed many icons to gear

Ubuntu 22.04 has Gnome Terminal installed by default.
You can go to Ubuntu software in the search box top left,
open and type xterm you can uninstall or install xterm.
Looks like the icon may have changed to 2 rectangle boxes.

Which "theme" are you using?
Have you tried selecting a different one and do you see the same problem also with other themes?

I am using 'vanilla gnome', installed iaw some online directions.

Icons are Yaru-dark.

Changing that (gnome tweaks) changes the color of the icon, but, it is
still a gear. Some have a full grear, others a partial gear.

I was using Yaru-dark before upgrading to 22.04.

If you change back to Gnome desktop at the login screen [Ubuntu on Wayland]
then open a terminal [ctl+alt+t] : sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
after any updates [restart] and at the login screen select Gnome on Xorg
[Vanilla Gnome].
See if your gear icons change back to their original icons.

No change. At login, I can select
   GNOME
   GNOME Classic
   GNOME Classic on Xorg
   GNOME on Xorg
   TWM

I do not have snap running.

Sorry, hit send too soon...

I selected GNOME did apt update, upgrade and reboot.
I selected GNOME on Xorg
The icon is still a gear.

So you are using vanilla OS.
Otherwise you would have Ubuntu on Wayland as one of the choices for login.

My initial install was Ubuntu 20.04 from iso.
I switched to vanilla GNOME using the online procedure.
I removed snap and auto upgrade.
I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 using do-release-upgrade.
And, again removed snap.
