After that I just tried if the problem comes back, if i remove gnome-icon-theme. But it still works after removing it. So the icon seams to be there, and the problem isn't realy a missing icon.

 dpkg -c network-manager-gnome_0.6.6-4_i386.deb | grep nm-no-connection
-rw-r--r-- root/root      1146 2009-01-14 08:57
./usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/nm-no-connection.png

So you see, the icon is shipped in the package. My only guess is, that
it's a problem with the icon cache. Do you have a file
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache and does it help if you delete
that?

As far as I can see, it's not a bug in network-manager-gnome itself.

Cheers,
Michael
