I had a similar issue with toolbar icons recently when using SCons to 
build on Linux. My project has multiple resource (.qrc) files -- I'm 
guessing yours does too -- and it turned out that rcc was not being 
called with the -name option. Check that rcc is being called with -name 
during your build process. If multiple resources are built into one 
executable or library and the -name option is not used, you get a name 
clash because there are multiple definitions of qInitResources in 
different translation units, and one resource effectively hides all the 
others.
