rotate left and right buttons disapeared (this appens from time to time); the button backend is present, but shows only the text; no icone. After pressing rot buttons, shown picture is rotated, but after saving it, the file on hard drive is not altered; after closing and reopening the file, the picture still have the original orientation.

Are you able to reproduce that "disappearing icons" problem on a new created user account? Do you get any error message when running it from a terminal?
dhp@uranus ~ $ eog (eog:5972): EOG-WARNING **: Couldn't load icon: Icon 'image-loading' not present in theme (eog:5972): EOG-WARNING **: Couldn't load icon: Icon 'image-missing' not present in theme One message per missing icon, ATM, the two rotate arrows. Did su, then eog, same problem (missing rotate arrows, and two messages). Then, did su an-other-user, and, same again. Of course, su complained about could not connect GConf, but I think we don't mind, and, it should not affect the bug since ... in both cases, I could see the other icons (next, prev, zoom ... )
What icon theme are you using? Also, please try on a "fully" new account, even if you test it running though "su" or "su -", you are still using, for example, your selected gnome icon theme
Maybe a dupe of bug 288549
I don't have gnome-settings-daemon in /usr or etc/init.d . If i should, there is a missing dep. If it's ok to not have it, it's not a dup. Usually, icons come back after remerging some gnome ebuilds, but i have not understand which atom yet.
gnome-settings-daemon is placed on /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon
Same problem with fresh new user. dhp@uranus ~ $ ls /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon ls: cannot access /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon: No such file or directory dhp@uranus ~ $
Don't you have gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon installed then?
I don't know, and I don't mind. If i should, a dep is missing (in the ebuild). Eix says gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon is not installed. A daemon is required to get an application get all icons ? the daemon is not required to get 80% isoncs, but is to reach 100% ?
This confirms you are suffering bug 288549 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 288549 ***
the daemon might be needed to make theme management complete, it most likely depends on how your theme is done.
1: I don't have theme, because I don't use Gnome. I use E17 2: eog does not complain about the daemon to be absent or unloaded 3: it's in first place a dep problem 4: I can do a manual install of gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon to see if it fixes it ...

If not, there is something going on that needs to be investigated.
