Hi Georg,
non-core/sysext related icons are not shipped with t3skin (or icons 
which have been core-related before t3skin and are in typ3/gfx/ for 
compatiblity to 3.x). Therefore they are not in any sprite.
Additionally they are targeted to be removed in 4.6. An Extension should 
ship their required icons itself (besides the "general one" which should 
be used from core). There is an API "t3lib_spritemanager" which is for 
registering extension Icons to the sprite api.
