I'm sorry, I just saw your post now for some reason.  I don't think
the problem is with tango-icon-theme because I have 2 identical
laptops with very similar configurations and neither of them have that
package installed.  Only 1 of the laptops is having this problem.

The problem is with system tray icons that are not panel plugins.  For
example: wicd, twinkle, blueman, orage.  The icons for those do not
appear at all except for the twinkle icon which appears right in the
center of the screen.  All other icons work fine, and system tray
icons that are panel plugins such as xfce4-mixer and clipman work
fine.

Any ideas?
