The problem is that .ui files are referencing relative paths for pixmaps which do not exist when run from unit-tests and during normal runs generate Gtk.Warnings similar to:
(run:21508): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not load image '../pixmaps/
This does not happen with default_icon, because PIXMAPS environment variable is used to load the images.
A while ago, there was a gtk api for search-dirs of e.g. images/content which I used in another project to source images both from the source tree & global/real install paths. need to look it up again.

The gtk+ish way to deal with this probably is:
* use iconfactory
* add all icons as iconsets into a factory
* stop hardcoding /usr/share/pixmaps
* stop hardcoding ../pixmaps/
* fetch all icons/images using 'symbolic' names
* during testsuite set path / add path to the theme from source code or installed path
As a side-effect:
* ubiquity becomes fully themable, as in every single image can be replaced at runtime with a theme, which maybe desirable for respins.
