I suspect this is because some postinstall stuff that normally gets executed at first reboot never gets executed. In build 41, these commands are: /usr/bin/update-desktop-database /usr/bin/update-mime-database ls -d /usr/share/icons/* | xargs -l1 /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache How exactly do you install the pkgs?
