That could also be the reason. Anyway, please have a look which icon
names are available to use as a fallback icon, as I'd rather try to load
other icons instead of displaying no icon at all.

Of course, I'd additionally include the try..except block around the
icon loading code, but as I said above, falling back to a similiar icon
would be another thing I'd like to add to this snippet, as displaying
the globe icon would make the interface look like it should.
