Description ioscmd 2020-11-01 09:49:34 UTC 
SUMMARY
The very first time you install some flatpak apps, you need to restart your system to see the proper icon of the app installed; otherwise it shows a white generic icon.
After the first time you reboot your system, the problem never happens again, and the icons of the apps installed, are shown correctly.
I verified this behaviour with Kubuntu and Fedora KDE

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a clean install of a KDE-based distro
2. Install some flatpak apps to verify the white generic icon
3. Reboot your system to verify the proper icon to appear

Works for me, but I'm not sure I understand the problem. Where are you seeing these generic icons displayed? Which flatpak apps?

This snapshot shows you the White icons in the menu soon after the very first installation of some flatpak apps

Hmm, in both Folder View as symlinks, and also in Kickoff. Kind of weird. Dunno where the bug could be.
