Help needed to sort out icon settings

Hello!

The other day I ran an ordinary update and now I noticed that a the appearance and a few icons for some programs has changed (Minitube, PCManFM, Kupfer). The thing that bothers me now is that one icon in Kupfer either looks ugly or is missing and that I don't know how to change it. Ever since I installed this system (running Compiz standalone) the themes / icon settings have been left intact.

Kupfer is supposed to look like this (notice the gear icons next to "Launch"):

But now the "Launch" icon looks like this:

Oh, and one more thing: apparently the package gnome-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme-symbolic were reported as not being used by any program, so I removed those, which didn't seem to make any difference (neither did reinstalling those packages).

What (in any recent update) caused this change to the icons? How can I change or revert it? Thanks for any hints!

Edited img tags.

MOD EDIT:
Reset img to url tags.  You had it right the first time.  Trilby

What did you "recently" update?  Check pacman's logs.

Now I can also see Kupfer complaining in the terminal about wrong icon sizes:

I also changed an environmental variable to DESKTOP_SESSION="gnome" (even though running Compiz standalone) a while ago, because the Minitube documentation said to do this in case toolbar icons in Minitube aren't showing, and changing that environmental variable changed the look of some elements in my setup (for instance, the scroll bars in applications are now looking differently). However, the Kupfer icons were still correct at that point even after changing this.
