I have built most but not all apps. Here is a list of icons missing from the menu from those apps I built. I am using the crytsalsvg icon theme.

Abakus
Kandy
Kthesaurus
Kugar Designer
Kradio
"Games for Kids" submenu
KXSLDbg (XSLT Debugger)

Looking at the desktop files for those apps:

abakus.desktop: Icon=abakus
kthesaurus.desktop: does not exist
kandy.desktop: Icon=kandy
kudesigner.desktop: Icon=kudesigner
kradio.desktop: Icon=kradio.png
tde-games-kids.directory: Icon=package_games_kids
kxsldbg.desktop: Icon=kxsldbg

Changing to the iKon icon theme caused an icon to appear in the menu for kandy but not the others.

The KDE Classic icon theme caused the icon to appear for Kugar Designer but none of the others.

The monochrome icon them had icons for abakus, kthesaurus, kugar designer, and Games for Kids. I don't know how an icon appeared for kthesaurus when there is no desktop file specifying which icon name to use.

Somebody could create an etherpad matrix of missing menu icons versus icon themes. Would require changing to each icon theme and inspecting every menu item for an icon. Somebody with basic art skills could start from there.
