Change setup.py to run gtk-update-icon-cache

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install hotwire
2. type help
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Instead of the help output, I get traces from insert_pixbuf because the
icon wasn't found

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.710 (same from svn), installed by python setup.py install.  Ubuntu Gusty.

Please provide any additional information below.

Somehow the icons either don't exist, aren't being searched for properly or
aren't being installed correctly.  Regardless, it makes sense to carry on
without the icon and display the help.  Patch below works for me.

This occurs when you install to the system without running 
gtk-update-icon-cache.  

I've gone to some effort to make sure you can run without doing any system 
install
(just run "python ui/hotwire").  See:
http://code.google.com/p/hotwire-shell/wiki/BuildingFromSubversion

I don't think we can really sanely handle the installed-but-broken case all 
through
the code.  The help pixbufs are just the first to fail.  

What we should probably do though to avoid this pitfall is to run
gtk-update-icon-cache in setup.py automatically.

Confirmed, gtk-update-icon-cache as root solved it (thanks!)

The help.py bits were the only problems I hit that made things difficult to 
use, I'd
suggest keeping my patch for the python ui/hotwire usage.  

The problem is that help doesn't work at all, so it is difficult to get an idea 
of
what the built in commands do, and hard to learn the system.

We now run gtk-update-icon-cache if installing to a system root:
