Re. Kicker:

I had that problem, too, after my initial upgrade from KDE 3.2 to 3.3. 
However, I upgraded once more some days later when there were new 
3.3-packages released and the problem disappeared.

When I had the problem, I could make the icons reappear by changing the kicker 
settings (any setting) for the tray. NB! Their appearance didn't "stuck", 
i.e. next time I restarted kde (e.g. by logout+login) they were gone once 
again.

Have you downloaded your packages recently? If not, download again.
