New description:

 When running gnome-settings-daemon (which gets started automatically by
 upstream gnome-session), [attachment:with-gnome-settings-daemon.png
 several UI elements look "odd" and some of the icons cannot be found]:

 {{{
 1336484680.188363 WARNING root: No icon with the name computer-xo was
 found in the theme.
 [...]
 1336484682.013522 WARNING root: No icon with the name view-radial was
 found in the theme.
 1336484682.027658 WARNING root: No icon with the name view-list was found
 in the theme.
 [...]
 }}}


 [attachment:without-gtkrc.png Similar effects can be seen] if
 {{{GTK2_RC_FILES}}} is unset, so it's quite likely that at least some of
 the effects could be attributed to the sugar GTK theme not being used. In
 fact, if I run {{{gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme
 sugar-100}}} manually (which will change settings globally, not just for
 Sugar), [attachment:with-gnome-settings-daemon-and-manually-set-theme.png
 the toolbar looks better], though the icons are still broken. So we
 probably need to figure out how to achieve all of what we did in gtkrc so
 far, without changing settings globally.


 This is on an up-to-date Debian Wheezy system.
