Hello, I "often" see this problem on fresh install, but still haven't 
found the definitive answer.

I believe this problem is related to having KDE4 installed and some 
files under /etc/xdg/menus from KDE4 (or distribution-global) take 
precedence over TDE's ones under /opt/trinity/etc/xdg .
Since categories names and/or icons names are not identical, TDE reads 
XML file from KDE4 then tries to load icons that do not exist under 
/opt/trinity.

I believe that having environment variables (KDEDIRS, XDG_DATA_DIRS ...) 
set by the "startkde" script was sufficient to workaround the problem 
under  3.5.13.2 but maybe I'm wrong.

BTW I currently have the same problem on freshly built R14 + new user 
profile, so I still do not understand how it works exactly...
