I tested with the example programs book/spinbutton and 
book/dialogs/messagedialog in the gtkmm tutorial, and only saw the 
missing-image icon. When I updated with the latest versions of glib and 
gtk+ from the git repository, the icons in spin buttons were fixed, but 
the ones in message dialogs are still just missing-image icons. This 
problem is discussed in

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708163 (gtk+)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710254 (glib)

The gtk+ bug has been fixed, and that solved the problem for spin buttons.
The patch in the glib bug has not yet been pushed. I think it will solve 
the icon problem in message dialogs.
