I had this problem only when updating Kubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 RC. I installed both gnome-icon-theme and tango-icon-theme (even to the local directory ~/.icons too) but it didn't work. I still get the error when trying to load nm-applet. I verified that the icons listed in the original bug post exist. I even renamed the /usr/share/icons/Tango folder to /use/share/icons/tango (lowercase 't') just in case. I also restarted my computer after installing the packages just to be on the safe side.
Regarding my error message (below) I checked and the icon /usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16/gtk-dialog-error.png exists (also for 22x22, etc.) So what's the problem?
