Could not find the theme 'hicolor' which acts as the base for all other
themes, including gnome-icon-theme.  Perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from http://freedesktop.org/Software/icon-theme/releases

DEPEND="sys-devel/gettext

        >=dev-util/intltool-0.29"

Its in the deps alright. Check if you do have it installed correctly.

The hicolor-icon-theme must somehow have become corrupt.  A reinstall solved the problem.
