Weird. That should only happen if the environment variables to hide them
are defined (as by the mcs-manager).

Yea, that's because the icons are no longer in the xffm directory. The
"dude" message appears when the icons defined by the theme are not
found. I guess the "dude" warning could be avoided on fresh install by
making the "no-icons" theme the default.

I'll simplify the mcs-plugin to take care of the problem.

Should the menu and toolbars appear as default on a fresh install?
(Currently they don't.)

Haven't seen that yet. I'll try to reproduce.

The xml stuff is the prime target for that. I admit I haven't had time
to look into it yet.
