GRIN!
libqt2 version 2.3.1-19 from unstable seems to have done the trick here. A coursory check shows missing icons in the kdecarddeck and package manager programs are back! Now for a more in-depth check...

Whoops! I just exited and re-started KDE, and it seems like those two programs mentioned above are about the ONLY ones that have Icons now. The task-bar is completely bare, except for the mozilla icon. :(
Have to hurry... got to get my foot out of my mouth so I can eat some crow....
