Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 0.6.5-1
Severity: important
Even if my user belongs to the 'netdev' group, when my gnome session
starts I receive a error message like this: "The NetworkManager applet
could not find some required resources. It cannot continue."
I've searched the web and found that Ubuntu folks had the same problem:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/37128
I tried with this:
find /usr/share/icons/ -type d -exec gtk-update-icon-cache -f {} \;
...and that fixed the problem. I suppose the package is not updating the
icon cache on the post-installation process.

Hi Lucas,
this is not a bug in the network-manager package.
Actually, running gtk-update-icon-cache manually is discouraged and very
likely a broken package did this which caused the problem for you.
Maybe you can find this package and file a bug report against it, to
*not* run gtk-update-icon-cache.
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=369755 for reference.
Quoting Loic Minier from the above bug report:
