In bug 291075 you can see what happens when you don't: the Browse window pops, the Controller queries for the Active Window, the Active Window is not tagged, so the Controller kills all of its children, including the KIconDialog itself.

I think I remember being able to set a PNG file before, so please let me know if this is a problem caused by this patch.
