Missing icons in freshly installed GNOME

Hello,

I just installed arch once again. pacman -Syu went allright.
After that I just tried to install gnome (pacman -S gnome gnome-extras) and it seemed to work fine.
Unfortunatelly, after starting a X session, the first message was "Icon 'web-browser' is missing" or something like that and most of the icons from menu are missing too. I tried to change a theme and icon set etc. It somehow does not do anything at all considering icons.
Is that any kind of known problem with arch and gnome at a moment?

thanks
Vlado

P.S.
Of course I tried console login, rm -r .gnome*, it ended up exctly same. gnome-icon-theme is installed...
