I'm in the same boat as you there.  Can anyone even shed any light on what the cause of this is?  I don't mind a little debugging but it's a bit over my head I don't even know where to start.

Also, is active development (or building from git or whatever) happening in the 'testing' instead of 'unstable' ?  If that's the case then I misunderstood the purposes of the feeds and should have went with stable.

I fixed this by removing and reinstalling illume-theme-asu, and then installing illume-theme-illume (I believe this is also necessary in order to get the illume keyboard I like, but it also fixed the problem with all those little icons being squished into the same place and tiny.)
