KDE pretty much does 'reinitialize .kde' every time it's started (by
running kbuildsycoca).

I'm not sure what toolbars you mean (toolbars in applications? Kicker
panels?), but if icons go away and get replaced with gears, I can only
think of two possible reasons apart from a bug: People were using their
own custom iconsets which got de- but not reinstalled during the upgrade
or people had applications in their panels which got de- but not
reinstalled during the upgrade - in both cases, you'll need to review
your upgrade procedure.

Otherwise, you should probably file a bug at http://bugs.kde.org with
details about what icons go missing in what places (and if they're in
kicker panels, to what applications they belong) and tell us the bug
number it gets assigned so we can track it.
