No Icons for Certain Applications

After installing Arch and XFCE on my desktop computer, I installed the Rhythmbox media player from the Pacman repositories, including the Gstreamer packages and good/ugly/bad packages. One thing I've noticed is that several icons are missing and are replaced with a red 'X' icon. For example, the 'Random' and 'Change Visibility of Browser' icons are just a red X. I'm guessing this is because of a lack of icons installed on the system, and I'm curious on what to do to resolve the issue. Perhaps download a icon package from a place like http://www.xfce-look.org/ ?

This is really just a minor annoyance, but I'd still like to know how to fix it. If anyone has any advice, I will greatly appreciate it!

Thanks.

Try installing some complete icon set and see what happens.

pacman -S tango-icon-theme tango-icon-theme-extras

Then set XFCE to use the tango icon set.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Oddly enough, I downloaded the Tango icon set, set it in the 'User Interface' section and started up Rhythmbox. Now, all the icons are different, but the 'X' icons still exist, just a different style!

This is pretty weird. Any idea why it would still be having this problem?

I have the same issue-- xfce, rhythmbox, same icons missing.  I do have tango installed as well.
