It helped. It turned out that one needs to run a Gnome daemon in
background:

$ /usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &

This runs per default if you have a Gnome desktop in Linux or FreeBSD,
but does not run automatically if one uses KDE. After launching it, all
is fine, all the icons are working in my small app and in ekiga. Perhaps
the GTK is asking the gnome-settings-daemon for the icon files and so
they do not appear in the truss/strace output.

I will update the Wiki with this.

Maybe it helps as well to fix the same problem on win32 (can't help on
this, because I "only" have FreeBSD).
