 Solved - no errors on stderr when I run from a term, nor amongst
the mass of informational/error messages I usually get on the tty
where I run 'startx'.  Turns out that the root cause was not in the
icon caches, but in the lack of a theme.  Thanks again for your
suggestions, somehow they helped me find the right google search
terms.

 When I was testing gnome-3.2 on my old machine, at some point I had
to set up ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and I put various values
into it.  I'd forgotten about that.  The following is working for me
as a minimal fix :

[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita

 FWIW, the version on my old machine has

 [Settings]
  gtk-theme-name = Adwaita
  gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
  # next option is applicable only if selected theme supports it
  gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = false
  # set font name and dimension
  gtk-font-name = Sans 10

 I don't know if any of those other entries are useful, or even
valid, but it is apparent that whitespace at the beginning of the
line is ok.

 Interestingly, I've now reinstated the mozilla libtotem plugins -
in firefox this now works fine (the single icon switches between play
and pause), but in epiphany it still isn't working. ... Ah, seems to
depend on the video, for true html5 it *does* now work in epiphany.
Weird :)
