Bug Description

Yesterday I upgraded my lubuntu installation to release 12.04 by modifying the /etc/apt/sources.list and performing the upgrade.
Current situation:
$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu precise (development branch)"
$ uname -a
Linux Dell-Dimension-2400 3.2.0-22-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 3 18:32:42 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

What I noticed is that the nm-applet shows an empty wireless connection icon (see attachment) while I am connected using a wired connection.

Based on Bug #936421 I expected that the elementary-icon-theme was here the cause as well, so I tried a reinstall of this package, which resulted in the following:
$ sudo aptitude reinstall elementary-icon-theme

Based on Bug #741387 I checked the /usr/share/icons/elementary directory and found the following (partial output displayed)
/usr/share/icons/elementary$ du -d3
<snip>
48 ./status/48/untitled folder
<snip>
48 ./panel/48/temp
<snip>

I removed these two directories and now the icon cache was updated succesfully
$ sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -ft /usr/share/icons/elementary
gtk-update-icon-cache: Cache file created successfully.

However, still the incorrect icon displays.

In icon theme "nm-device-wired.svg" linked to wrong file (nm-no-connection.svg)

temporary solution:

cd /usr/share/icons/elementary/panel/22; sudo ln system-file-manager-panel.svg nm-device-wired.svg -sf
