Eek. If you restart plasmashell with `systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.service`, do the icons come back?

Also there's a chance this *might* have been fixed with the fix for Bug 464873, which will be released with Plasma 5.27.3 in a week. So if we haven't figured the issue out by then, it would be grat if you could upgrade to 5.27.3 once it's released and re-test.

Thanks a lot!

Also if restarting plasma fixes it, it's probably Bug 466823.

Actually the symptoms look identical; duping now.
