Missing icon

Hmm, I’m missing an icon here. The Sharing icon in my System Preferences has disappeared. Instead of the icon I see this half-switch-picture:
Preferences

So, first I thought some images were messed up and checked the Sharing-package. Strangely enough, everything looks fine there. The image file (SharingPref.tiff Sharing Preferences Icon) is where it should be and contains the right icon. Frankly, I have no idea why the application won’t show me the correct picture. Anyhow, it’s not a big problem since it didn’t affect any functionality yet (crossed fingers!!), but it’s annoying and I’d like to fix it. Any hints resolving this issue will be highly appreciated!

Btw, what would be the reason for placing QuickTime-preferences in between Network- and Sharing-preferences? Considering another than a random system preferences arrangement…

    Hi,

    I have a MacBook Pro and I have exactly the same problem! Not sure how to fix it though. :(

    Call it Apple voodoo, but after some days my icon appeared again, by itself, without any help.

    I did one at a time tho and just did the first cache file.

    It had worked after this so I didnt bother deleting the index one…
