i think that to fix this bug we have to change the way favourites are handled.

There is in fact two problems : 

1- In the config file ( kickoffrc )  the favourite is in fact the path to the desktop file ( ex: /usr/share/applications/kde4/systemsettings.desktop ) so when the icon is changed this is not in this desktop file but a new is created in the user home dir ( $HOME/.local/share/applications/systemsettings.desktop ) this is a reason why the icon is not changed.

2- When we change the icon in the menu kickoff need to be restarted to see the new icon.
