Well, if I did not have the AppIcon, I'd have no pixel left either.
I'm running 0.92 on Freebsd, but I had the same on linux debian, linux 
gentoo, x86, ppc... it is a long-standing problem.

It does not happen "always" or I'd have filed a bug for it. It affects 
of course only GNUstep apps, but I do not know if interaction with 
non-gnustep apps plays a role.
