Bug Description

When I run nm-applet, I receive this error message:
"The NetworkManager applet could not find some required resources. It cannot continue."

This is the output that is printed to the terminal:
** (nm-applet:9329): WARNING **: Icon nm-stage01-connecting01 missing: Icon 'nm-stage01-connecting01' not present in theme

(nm-applet:9329): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

I'm using the e100 driver for my wired-only connection. I'm running a x86 machine with the latest dapper.

Are you running NM from Dapper repositories or test binaries from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperNetworkManager?

I can confrim this behavior with both the stock nm in dapper, and the nm 0.6 from the wiki.

I can confirm this with 0.6.1, in the test repository as well.

The bug of which this one is a duplicate is "fix released". To repair manually, do "sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/". I confirm it works.

I was getting the same errors on DELL Precision M65 after the following:
- Ubuntu 6.10 upgraded to 7.04 via GUI (upgrade manager)
