Hi Stephen,

The icons issue, as well as a related issue with modals not working, is a
browser cache issue. Please see
http://docs.joomla.org/Category:Version_2.5.0_FAQ for more details.

I can also report that SP
Upgrade<http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/migration-a-conversion/joomla-migration/15609>works
flawlessly for importing 1.5 data into 1.7.3 (you can then do a
one-click upgrade to 2.5.0). I've recently been migrating sites,
and unfortunately have run into issues database with jupgrade. SP
Upgrade<http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/migration-a-conversion/joomla-migration/15609>
is
well worth the $33 or so.

Best,

Matt Thomas
