Sorry to re-enter again, but: Just had another fresh installation of a system, same phenomenon again. It's gnome-icon-theme which provides the icons needed for display inside fbpanel with default configuration. That's what I get when invoking fbpanel without a ~/.fbpanel (so using default configuration) and *without* gnome-icon-theme being installed:
http://grml.org/screeni/fbpanel.png - and hicolor-icon-theme (version 0.10-1) *is* present on my system. I really don't consider gnome-icon-theme as depends but AFAICS it should be really part of Suggests. regards, -mika-
