Try the default Gnome icon theme. If the used icon theme is broken,
having the default installed can't do anything...

Known issue, IIRC. Some icon themes don't inherit default theme for
missing icons. And Evolution 1.4.x doesn't render the attachment text
properly, if the icon is missing.

Yep, the attachment will be sent, even if the icon is not displayed. Try
sending one of those invisible attachments to yourself and see.

Buggy icon themes...

It does for unknown mime types.
Anyway, as we are close to Evolution 2.0 there won't be any 1.4.x
updates, unless they are security relevant.
