Ok, I've fixed the problem for myself, but probably not the bug itself.
After a bit of googling, I found that some others were also having the
same problem with GNOME. Running this command fixed the issue to an
extent:
$ sudo gconf-schemas --register desktop_gnome_interface.schemas
The interface schemas were indeed missing, and that fixed the icons
issue. I was also unable to launch the Theme manager before that, now I
can.
I also found out that re-installing the package "libgnome2-common" would
make things work, so I did that and it all seems to be fine.
Guess I'll close this bug for now, though it might happen to others in
future - who knows ;-)
