I noticed it often, but I never came to the obvious conclusion: the themes and icons are not available when you’re root since you installed them in your home folder.

Just executing:

sudo ln -s ~/.icons /root
sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root

Fixes the problem. It is not a beautiful solution, but it works perfectly!
