Icons missing in Etch



I know I had seen a posting from someone else that had this same
problem, however I cannot locate the thread. I am running Etch with
Gnome 2.14.1 and after a recent update, the system seems to be unable to
locate most of its icons. This also affects some applications like
Evolution. When I try to change the theme I get the following message:

"The default theme schemas could not be found on your system. This means
that you probably don't have metacity installed, or that your gconf is
configured incorrectly."

As a result it will not let me change to another theme. Metacity is
installed and running. Where do I need to go now?

Thanks in advance,

Jim Seymour
