Steffen and I have been talking on Skype about a related issue.

When typeicons are defined, they do not have to be present for every 
possible type. If not typeicon is available for the current type, then 
it should fall back to the default iconfile defined in the TCA rather 
than showing the missing icon.

The solution hear is to require that all tables have the -default sprite 
and then we can fall back to that.

To see the issue in action, create a tt_news article with the default 
type (0) and note the missing icon compared to other types.

Thanks!
