...and even more coming:

sound & video
cd-player: I was a bit suprised that this app was still part of the 
desktop release. A quick workaround might be to use devices/media-optical

system tools:
bluetooth analyzer: there is a good bluetooth icon around, I'll see if I 
can find it
Bluetooth filesharing: this one could become problematic if used on a 
background using the same blue as the icon. I'll see if I can come up 
with something better.
new login: Hylke Bons drew a better icon for this [1], can't recall the 
bug number though.
disk usage analyzer: Seems it only installs the icon in the scalable 
size. Will look into this.
root-password, selinux etc: will put these on my todo

Administration:
about Gnome: hm, this is weird, works well on a ubuntu install (gnome 
2.18) over here, but not on my foresight vmware image (gnome 2.20). 
Could be a idea to have the desktop-file refer to "Icon=start-here" 
instead of Icon=gnome-logo-icon-transparent.
about fedora: same as above [2]

Authentication: what app is this?
bootloader: could use "Icon=boot" in the desktop file.
date&time: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400609
keyboard: should use "Icon=preferences-desktop-keyboard" in the desktop 
file.
language: should use "Icon=preferences-desktop-locale" in the desktop file.
login window: could use a modified version of Hylke's icon [1]. I'll 
open a bug about this.
network: should use "Icon=preferences-system-network" in the desktop file.
services: hm, there is application-system
soundcard detection: there is devices/sound-card

Personal:
keyboard icons: preferences-desktop-keyboard could be used.
I assume the planned merge [3] of all the keyboard preferences will take 
care of this
preferred applications: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397312

Look&feel:
desktop effects: I know Lapo Calamandrei have one for this around.

Internet & network
bluetooth: same as above.

System;
database access properties: I might have a replacement icon around.


That's all I can think of for now.
