Yes, I have seen exactly this problem.  Suprisingly enough, I solved 
it by doing exactly what was suggested, namely installing the 
hicolor icon them from the URL given.

However, the URL has changed.  It's now

http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/wiki/HicolorTheme

(URLS at freedesktop.org can't be expected to remain stable for more 
than a few weeks at a time, for some reason.)
