Gnome applet Icons Missing

I installed a fresh arch linux on another pc.  I installed gnome and gnome-extras. There is one problem:

The icons on the "system tray" are missing. The applets are there but the icons are not shown:

I already rebuilt the hicolor and gnome icons (and re-logged) with no result. Am I missing something?

Re: Gnome applet Icons Missing

Ok here is something weird I found out.

I am using xorg without xorg.conf. Since I have a Voodoo3 card I installed the xf86-video-tdfx driver. After a xorg restart the icons are working but the mouse flickers when I move it and there are graphic bugs when restoring windows.

So I removed the tdfx driver and reverted to the vesa driver. The mouse does not flicker anymore but the applet icons are gone.
