Unfortunately I'm missing some of the icons. Namely missing are those
under the System menu and all of those in the right-click menus. I've
got all the basic Gnome icons installed which I've checked with the
packages present on the old laptop. Has anyone got a clue what's wrong?



I'm not sure why but those are off by default now and there is no easy
way to set it now (that I know of).

IIRC, it was an upstream (GNOME) decision which Debian (as well as other
distributions) also seems to adapt it. I have to admit I fully agree with
that :-)

I turn them on by running gconf2 or the configuration editor and
navigating to Desktop -> Gnome - Interface and checking
"buttons_have_icons" and "menus_have_icons".

Yep, that is the way to restore the icons.
