Bug Description
Binary package hint: gupnp-tools
On a Kubuntu 9.04 system where gnome-icon-theme isn't installed per default, gupnp-tools' apps fail with errors output to the terminal.
$ gupnp-universal-cp
** (gupnp-

Installing gnome-icon-theme makes the gupnp tools work, though as a side-effect other GTK programs (like Firefox, Midori) then happily use the now-installed gnome icons instead of inheriting KDE's. To explain, Midori outputs similar errors when gnome-icon-theme isn't installed, but it starts properly and inherits the KDE icons for the icons it complained were not present. For instance, the "new tab" icon (stock_new-tab).
Optimally the tools should start and use KDE's icons when gnome's aren't installed. Installing gnome's breaks icon consistency in other GTK apps, that *did* use KDE's icons before.
KDE icon theme in use was Oxygen from the Jaunty kde-icons-oxygen package in the kubuntu-

Note, I was working with someone on #ubuntu+1 last night who had the same issue, but had icons installed already. He had to install the "gtk2-engines" package to allow the 'gupnp- universal- cp' application to start.
