As a temporary work around, I've done the following.
1. Install KDE
2. Log in to KDE, and open the settings manager
3. Change icon theme
4. Log out and back into Gnome. All KDE apps now have correct icons.

The bug is still present, but at least the symptoms can be addressed this way.

Do you mean "disappearing Menubar" too?
My fix for it is to modify the ~/.kde/share/config/katerc file
and delete "Show MenuBar" settings

Had same issue,
as suggested by HenryLin,
go and edit your .kde/share/config/katerc

In my config, had replace

MenuBar=Disabled
with
MenuBar=Enabled

restart kate and that's it
