This error depends on the configuration of your system. 

The Stock.AddPath() function is called to create a list of directories where 
icons must be searched.

By reading the source code again, I noticed that when icon directories are 
taken from configuration file, or configuration programs like "kde-config", 
they are supposed to be in UTF-8, which may not be true.

Can you tell which desktop you use, which icon theme you use, and where the 
icons are stored on your system?
