I'm not a Windows user, but I'll ask some questions to help answer 
whether this is a bug (probably is, would be my first impression). 
Under "libgui/src/icons" of the source tree are a bunch of icons used in 
the GUI/IDE.  I assume those are present in your source tree.  Please 
verify it is those icons that are not appearing in the browser as you 
see it.  If so there is a bug.  If they are visible and it is some other 
Qt standard icons that are not visible, then that might be another issue 
involving some support libraries not installed.

I wonder if the icons are being put in a proper directory when "install" 
is done.  In any case, try launching the GUI using "run-octave", if that 
is possible on Windows.  Try launching the GUI from the directory 
"libgui/src/icons", i.e., where the icons exist.  If there are any error 
messages somewhere, please report those.
