What is the url of one css file that you wish to have resolved but which
is not resolved?

My suspicion is that it does not start with "/webmin", and so it will
not be handled in your proxy_pass location.

You may be happier configuring webmin like it says on
http://www.webmin.com/apache.html, section "Webmin In A Sub-Directory
Via A Proxy"; and then changing your nginx config to be more like

  location ^~ /webmin/ {
    proxy_pass http://192.168.1.5:10000;
  }

It is always fiddly to reverse-proxy something at a different place in the
url tree than it expects to be; so if the something has a config feature
to make it unnecessary to do so, it is usually good to make use of that.

Good luck with it,
