Hi, the freedesktop.org icon theme specification [1] states: "In order to have a place for third party applications to install their icons there should always exist a theme called "hicolor". [...] Implementations are required to look in the "hicolor" theme if an icon was not found in the current theme."
Therefore, for an application icon to be shown correctly in KDE, there has to be a corresponding icon in the "hicolor" theme (*not* in the "gnome" theme). I just had a look at the four desktop files you mention: (1) gnome-about-me.desktop references an icon "user-info", however, there is no file /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/user-info.* in Debian. (2) gnomecc.desktop references an icon "gnome-control-center", however, there is no file /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/gnome-control-center.* in Debian. (3) gmenu-simple-editor.desktop references an icon "gnome-main-menu", however, there is no file /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/gnome-main-menu.* in Debian. (4) ntfs-config.desktop references an icon "gnome-dev-harddisk", however, there is no file /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/gnome-dev-harddisk.* in Debian. Since those icon names are no standard application names according to the icon naming specification [2], and since none of these icons (including all their proper prefixes) exist in the "hicolor" theme, this has to be fixed in the packages capplets-data (for 1 and 2), gnome-menus (for 3) and ntfs-config (for 4).
