Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) OS: Linux No matter which icon theme the user chooses from System Settings, the desktop remains with the oxygen theme. Kubuntu 9.10, KDE 4.4.4 Reproducible: Always
Can confirm on OpenSUSE 11.3 KDE 4.4.4
Tested switching between Tango icon theme and Oxygen in order to exclude an incomplete or non-fdo standard icon theme. Tested with 4.5RC3 and 4.4.4 on openSUSE. Upon changing icon theme, folderview shows the old icons until the next repaint, eg mousing over icons causes them to be redraw with the hover selection rectangle behind them using the correct icon theme. Only folderview is affected. An Icon widget on the desktop or icons on the panel, for which alternatives exist in both themes, change immediately.
On my computer even ordering to redraw the desktop did not help.
