"This caching can make it impossible for users to add icons without having to
restart applications. In order to handle this, any implementation that does
caching is required to look at the mtime of the toplevel icon directories when
doing a cache lookup, unless it already did so less than 5 seconds ago. This
means that any icon editor or theme installation program need only to change the
mtime of the the toplevel directory where it changed the theme to make sure that
the new icons will eventually get used."

http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/gnome-panel/gnome-panel.spec?rev=1.68&view=auto
gives a correct example of the impl of the spec in an rpm format:

%post
touch --no-create %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor
if [ -x /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache ]; then
  gtk-update-icon-cache -q %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor
fi

Given the huge benefit, it seems worth a small audit to get this correct.
