This is a glitch in how the icons are handled, you also have to delete the 
shortcut (.desktop file, symbolic link or whatever was used) from your 
~/Desktop directory with a file manager.

Well, Kaffeine is still the same KDE 3 application, so I'm not sure what would 
have changed its behavior there. We recently made some changes related to the 
xine-lib PulseAudio backend (both in F9 and in an F8 update), maybe you're 
using a different backend now and that changed it? Try changing the "xine 
parameters" in Kaffeine to select a different backend, "pulseaudio" is the 
native PulseAudio backend which should now be preferred, "alsa" is the ALSA 
backend which should work through the ALSA PulseAudio plugin.

Unfortunately, that option appears to be simply missing in the KDE 4 clock. :-(
