Since I think this has come up a few times occasionally, to me it still
sounds like GNOME brokeness. What kind of icon caching concept is
this? If the cache file gets out-of-date and an icon is not found within
the cache, the desktop system doesn't search the file system? Huh? Or
maybe this is configurable in some place? Why should a KDE application
maintain a GTK icon theme cache file?
