Hello all,

An update on this problem.  I downloaded the source for the main menu 
example from the gtkmm docs, compiled and ran it.  It displays the 
"MISSING ICONS" also.  In addition to this, I have noticed that my 
themes dialog is no longer available under my gnome desktop.  I get the 
following text in a dialog box when I try to access my desktop themes 
from the Desktop Preferences menu:

No themes could be found on your system.  This probably means that your 
"Theme Preferences" dialog was improperly installed, or you haven't 
installed the "gnome-themes" package.

Since getting that message, I have downloaded and installed the latest 
gnome-themes package available at www.gnome.org and I still get this 
message when trying to access the themes from Desktop Preferences.

I am totally stumped at this point.
