Heya :)
I'm not sure why this happens (this also goes for the cases that others have
also mentioned,) however I do know of a solution. I'm using KDE 3.2beta,
however I'm pretty sure this will be in the same place on KDE 3.1.4.
1. You will need to run kdcop (generally by typing Alt-F2 and then typing in
kdcop.) This will bring up a program with a list of applications.
2. You will then need to find "kdesktop" and click on the "+" in front of it.
This will open up a list of options below it.
3. Next click on the "+" in front of KDesktopIface, once more you will get a
list of options below.
4. Almost at the bottom of this new list that opened up you will find
(hopefully) "void setIconsEnabled(bool enable)", you will need to double
click on this.
5. After the double click a new window will pop up. This will have an option
"enable bool" and a check box. Make sure the checkbox is empty and then
click on "ok".
6. Double click on the same option as before, however this time you will want
to make sure the checkbox has an "x" in it.
7. After clicking ok the last time hopefully the icons will have returned.
I have just had this problem occur by me and was able to get my icons back
with the above. I can of course not guarantee that it will work in the older
versions of KDE, however hopefully it will.
Good luck and I hope this helps,
