I think the icons issue is caused by the fact that Gnome is no longer designed to support icons on desktop. Even if we fix that we will have some other troubles in future. My proposal is to completely remove the icons and place instead a welcome window like Fedora does on its live CD, so this will make installation more immediate and even more understandable by the users. So I found the script shipped with anaconda that create the welcome window and I was planning to make it compatible with calamares but, since we have replaced it with anaconda, I think is even more easy to make it work on our distro. Tomorrow I will test it on a daily image crossing my fingers.
P.S. Excuse me for my delay in my reply but I was really busy during this days.
