Ok, can you run:

gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor

and see if that works for you?  After the applet gets installed, we need
to force update the icon cache.  In an RPM it works because the
directory's mtime is different, so either you need to touch the
directory 'hicolor' or else you need to run the command above to get the
icons to be recognized.
