Comment # 4 on bug 1197539 from Matthias Bach

You are right, I am indeed using Kicker and not Kickoff. Sorry for messing up
the two and thanks for correctly identifying that. :)

The icon is correctly shown when running Kicker in plasmawindowed. I also don't
see anything obviously related in the log messages in that case:

Now knowing about the difference in Kickoff and Kicker, I have also explicitly
tested Kickoff. It shows the same behaviour, the Icon is not shown in the
favourites section but does show in search results and when running via
plasmawindowed.
