Exactly which icons are you talking about? Well, let me describe it clearer: In KControl you can change the general icon theme in the style section. KWin shows in its deco an icon for each application. For KDE apps most icons are icontheme based. I develop this pager: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=7120 In one theme you can say that the windows should be represented by icons. After changing the icon theme the icons on the pager don't change (even if i do a whole redraw on the pager - hence I believe it is a KWin issue, not a pager issue). When I open new windows after i changed the icon theme the new windows will have the new icon theme applied. I hope it is clear now. The applications simply don't change the icon. There is some more to this, not only does not the applications change their icons as noted in comment 3 (the icon seen in the taskbar and window decoration menu button). Additional, the windowdecoration does not change it's icons, the icons seen in the menu when right clicking on the titlebar. the decos update the icons as soon as kwin calls them to do, and kwin afaik listens to NETWM - so as long as the app does not update the icon, there won't be any NETWM notification and kwin won't call the decos to please repaint the icon and won't update the clients icon either perhaps kwin should offer a dcop slot to update all icons and kcmshell icons just call this one on icon theme changes?! (the apps hardly can, as e.g. xterm wouldn't even know there's some kde stuff around it) This bug report is still uptodate using kde 4.2.1 When changing the icon theme in system settings, kwin will not be notified to change the icons of all decos...
