Did you try logging into different accounts?
Have you installed something and not booted?
When was the last time the system was booted?

Neither using AIX nor CDE, but i had tried alot of different distros & DE/WM's.
Just asking, have you considered there might be something like a cde-icons-theme package?

Normally the icons are in /usr/dt/appconfig/icons/
under your "IT" locale.
Also check that your environment was correctly set up by the CDE session manager (the process /usr/dt/bin/dtsession):

Code:

echo $XMICONSEARCHPATH
echo $XMICONBMSEARCHPATH
