Missing icons
Since I updated Ubuntu 64-bits to the latest stable version (from 11.04 to 11.10) many icons went missing. In attachment I am sending you an example of that with my Desktop (some noise inserted for privacy reasons).
Can you help fixing this?

Are the apps missing?
Can you start the apps from a command line?
try right clicking on a empty space on the desktop and choose create launcher.

Only the icons are missing. I can still open everything with a double-click or right-click + open.

Most part of the icons was fixed using
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
but there is still one that was not corrected - the "Alternador de Áreas de Trabalho". I believe this one had the problem still in Ubuntu 11.04.
Can you help?

The workspaces switcher (Alternador de Áreas de Trabalho) works, the only problem is that it has no icon.
Right-clicking on an empty space on the desktop does not provide any option to create a launcher.
Any clues?
