what you describe here may be totally independent of the application
icon issue. We all know that there are many strange behaviours in
GNUstep that under certain conditions make GNUstep applications very
hard to use. We should all try to work hard on resolving these. Again,
what you describe is not reproducable for me with KDE, but I have other
similar problems with focus handling in GNUstep :-(
