Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.2.1-3

when in plugins set an button with:

PanelMenu.SystemStatusButton.prototype._init.call(this, 'fcitx')

Now icon will show, but if modify 'fcitx' to 'media-optical', an icon shows.
there is no fcitx.{png, svg ,...} in  /usr/share/icons/gnome
but did be in /usr/share/icons/hicolor.

/usr/share/icons/hicolor is the standard directory, when there is no such icon
gnome-shell should try to find it in  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, shouldn't it?
