Was another solution ever found? I'm seeing this same exact issue, and I do
have all the icons in place. I can push one button and then all buttons are
unresponsive except Esc. Restarting gdm (and thus the frontend) fixes it
temporarily but it comes back at some point. I haven't been able to
thoroughly test it, but there seems to be no indication in the frontend log
that anything is wrong.
