Otherwise we'd have to recreate the icon background everytime useCount goes from 0 to 1. This is your decision, I guess. I just emulated the old code without the deletion part here.

I've even seen it unhide for a fraction of a second and then hide again while I was just typing a message in Konversation. This behavior (except maybe the brief appearance) is not new.
