Same problem here but Solaris 8.

It does not. The problem is still there as Andy describes it.

Reverting to kdebase_gcc-3.4.2,REV=2005.09.20-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz 
doesn't work either :(.

Wonder which one of the packages is broken this time? I did take the 
following upgrade:

        software                         old                         new
        --------                         ---                         ---
   kdeaddons_gcc                       3.3.1                       3.4.2
     kdebase_gcc        3.4.2,REV=2005.09.20                       3.4.3
      kdeedu_gcc                       3.4.1                       3.4.2
kdegraphics_gcc                       3.4.1                       3.4.2
kdemultimedia_gcc                     3.4.1                       3.4.2
    kdeutils_gcc                       3.4.1                       3.4.2

And after that I replaced kdebase_gcc 3.4.3 with 
kdebase_gcc-3.4.3,REV=2005.10.27-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz but I still 
get ni icons/images.
