Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.4) OS: Linux The icon size is too big only on the first login after booting or rebooting. KDE seems to fail to give icon size information to applications on the first login after booting. It seems to happen almost always, but from time to time it doesn't happen. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1) put gtk-icon-theme-name="gnome" in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 or something similar. 2) Put a.py in /var/tmp and a.desktop in /etc/xdg/autostart (a.py and a.desktop are archived in testprogram.tar.bz2, and it is attached to this bug) 3) reboot and login 4) See what happens to the size of the icon. or 2) Install ibus and see what happens to ibus icon size. Expected Results: The ibus icon size or other gtk status icon sizes should correspond to the size of KDE panel.
The actual KDE version is 4.6.5, but 4.6.5 wasn't in the combo box list. So I chose 4.6.4 instead.

with the xembed method, there is no sizing information given to the app, there is no means to. this is one of the reasons the xembed protocol is deemed deprecated for KDE (and Canonical Unity) apps.
