re: unknown icons.

Not all icon collections have all icons for all thinkable applications.
In theory, when an icon lacks, the system should fall back to the hicolor theme.
Unfortunately, icon themes authors mainly are artists and forget some rules.

Either, choose a comprehensive icons themes, or,

navigate to /usr/local/share/icons/your_preferred_theme
edit (sudo) the file index.theme
Normally, the first item is [Icon Theme] and has or should have a line as
Inherits=Tango,gnome,hicolor,crystalsvg
(this line actually comes from Gartoon Redux, which has less question marks than original Gartoon which reads
Inherits=jimmac,Gorilla,gnome ).
While there, also check the Directories= line.

Instead of messing system files and make scrollkeeper angry, better de-install the themes you want to edit and intall them into your home
~/.icons directory.
