no icons/borders for pet control bar

[monktbd]

Since the last update I did never ever see the pet control bar with its icons.
I only see a white frame with gray icons. The buttons are functional but still I'd very much like to see the icons.

Things I tried to resolve the issue:

* delete the live folder
* uninstall and reinstall regnum
* same as above but deleting the regnum folder as well
* after installing trying with both update all resources at once checked and unchecked.
* I downloaded the new installer for the reinstalls.

If anyone has a clue what could be the reason i wold appreciate that a lot.

I am almost at a point where I blame my old linux nvidia drivers (96.43.xx) cos my card doesn't support any newer (Geforce Ti4200). But then what would make the pet bar so special compared to any other window/bar in the game....

Resolution used is usually 1024x768 in windowed mode.
