You can't.  It's perfectly normal.  It's not even an error.

I guess they're not really expected to be unknown, but they're harmless 
as long as you don't get disappearing icons.  If you do, then this is

This came up quite a while back on the mailing list, and IIRC, the 
"solution" was that there is no solution :P
