We have had the same problem here ( my wife's PC ! ) some days ago. Try first 
starting kde not as user but as root. The icons should be there. The problem 
here resulted to be, as Irina said,  a link problem. Involved qt !

Try first Anne's instructions. Then start kde as root, and then we shall see !
good luck
