Have you tried adding an entry to /etc/hosts for your hostname?  If you
don't have a static IP address, something like:

127.0.0.1	localhost.mydomain.com localhost myhostname
myhostname.mydomain.com

Will do.

I'm not sure what you mean regarding the icons.  Can you send a
screenshot?  Also, have you updated to the latest version of GNOME?
