Richard,
Most of the icon questions have been about none showing up or missing 
some, due to the index.desktop file being messed up in the hicolor 
theme.  I think the system didn't know where to look for alternate 
icons.  

Usually a problem like yours is due to some old settings files.  You 
might try removing all the things in /tmp first.  You may have to reset 
some things in their settings, but all will work correctly.  You might 
also rename or remove you old kde settings in your home as well to try 
that.  If memory serves me though, most of the responses to questions 
of your type result in old settings now cooperating with the new 
update.
