I would have assumed that having gnome-icon-theme installed was enough.
I have no idea why the setting daemon needs to run, unless it's to tell
GTK to look in /usr/share/icons/gnome.

The icons from gnome-icon-theme are the fallbacks for when the user's
icon theme doesn't contain them.

If this isn't just a programming error on our part, I think the only
real solution would be to ship some fallback icons in the tarball. That
is related to the "g-i-t icons suck, RB should ship it's own better
ones" discussion.
