Missing icons

Hi guys,
I've installed a distro which runs xfce4. Everything is Ok, but I miss some icons. e.g. in "Settings Manager" I can only see "Panel" and Screensaver". The same for other apps.
Where can I find the missing icons?.
Since I've another distro running Xfce4, I could copy from it, if I only know where they are.

Thank you in advance

Re: Missing icons

Have you tried changing the icon theme? (Settings manager -> User Interface -> Icon Theme)

If you can't find any suitable theme, see
http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/install_new_themes

If you have a favorite theme that you just want to supplement with the missing icons, you can set a fallback theme. In that case, create a file .gtkrc-2.0 in your home directory and let it contain the line

gtk-fallback-icon-theme = "Rodent"

"Rodent" is the standard theme that is usually installed together with Xfce4, but you can change it to any other which may have the missing icons.
