[OE-core] Icon problems with Sato theme

Note: This problem was originally sent to the Poky list, but it's not
Poky specific (I've verified it happens with other oe-core based setups)

I'm trying to run the midori browser on my Poky based system.  I have
an image which is based on core-image-sato.  I imported the midori
recipe from OE and it builds fine.  When I run midori, it fails
like this:
   %midori
   (midori:1629): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'stock_new-tab' for stock: Icon 'stock_new-tab' not present in te
   (midori:1629): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'gnome-stock-trash' for stock: Icon 'gnome-stock-trash' not prese
   (midori:1629): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'gtk-undo-ltr' for stock: Icon 'gtk-undo-ltr' not present in thee
   Segmentation fault

I do have those icons - they come from the gnome-icon-theme package
which I also installed.  I even tried duplicating them into the Sato
icon tree and ran 'gtk-update-icon-cache -q /usr/share/icons/Sato'
afterwards.  I now have these files:
   root at logopak8347tbga:~# find /usr/share/icons -name "stock_new-tab*"
   /usr/share/icons/Sato/16x16/actions/stock_new-tab.png
   /usr/share/icons/Sato/22x22/actions/stock_new-tab.png
   /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/actions/stock_new-tab.png
   /usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16/actions/stock_new-tab.png
   /usr/share/icons/gnome/22x22/actions/stock_new-tab.png
but I still get the same failure.

The really strange thing is this is what happens if I run midori
to the local X server.  If I 'ssh -X' into my board it works properly!
I've run strace on it in this mode and I can see that it's using a
different GTK theme - Raleigh, which does seem to find the icons.

Any ideas how I can get this to work on my local X server?

n.b. there seems to be a bug in the GTK libraries that make them fail if the default
icons are not available.  It tries to render GTK_STOCK_MISSING_IMAGE for the missing
icons and this fails if there is no such icon available in the set (e.g. in sato).
On ARM at least, this is a fatal segmentation error.  Should I report this as a bug?
Where?

I've also tried to add the missing icon(s) to the sato-icon-theme package, but
no matter what I do, GTK can't ever seem to find the GTK_STOCK_MISSING_IMAGE ('gtk-missing-image.png')
Any ideas how to debug this?
