I notice you are using the 3.6 kernel. You then mention an issue with icons not appearing. Since I have faced a similar issue when using the 3.7 kernel, I would like to make you aware there are some firmware files that should go into lib/firmware/radeon for ATI users and not sure which is the other as I only had ATI. I have a post about upgrading to newer kernels, that should explain exactly where to get those files. See as Linux moves forward, they discover better ways to handle graphics. Ultimate 3.4 was built on the 12.04 architecture whereas in 12.10 these firmware files have now been added. Have no fear as the files can still be added for the 12.04 and those files will greatly improve the reactions of the gnome desktop. Believe me, I went thru issues such as tasbar not coming up and icons not appearing, so I know for a fact those files help, as I put them in and it was smooth operation on boot. Also noticed were better reactions with compiz. If you have nvidia druvers, am not sure where to find those files, but am sure someone here can help. Anyway just hope this will help, as having ATI conflicts and problems made me aware so I just had to post for all others upgrading to new kernels.
