Workaround!

padevchooser uses icons contained within : /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/stock/media which are not present (yet at least) in Maverick. However, If you have a Lucid (probably Karmic and earlier too) machine, you can copy this directory over. Make sure you check permissions afterwards (files AND directories), mine were 644 on the files and 755 on the directories.

Then edit /usr/share/icons/gnome/index.theme in your editor of choice:

Scroll down until you find a "#Directories list" section. Where it says "Directories=" you need to add "24x24/stock/media". I'd put it in an appropriate place within the list - and take care of your commas! Then, still in this file, add:

[24x24/stock/media]
Size=24
Context=Stock
Type=Fixed

....then save. Then one last thing to get it to work:

from the /usr/share/icons/gnome directory run:
gtk-update-icon-cache .
Don't forget the full stop at the end (we're telling the program that the cache is located in this directory). If it worked it'll say:
"gtk-update-icon-cache: Cache file created successfully."
If you see this, and you've done everything correctly you should get the correct icon on the panel.
