From what I can see it does not seem possible. You could do it by an 
appropriate SQL update in the photos.db. I would recommend:
1) take a backup of your photos.db before doing anything else. You never 
know...
2) do a "UPDATE tags SET icon=null WHERE category_id <> 0;" (Basically, 
category_id is the parent category. a Parent equal to "0" means you have 
a top-level tag (such as the system ones). commit.

That should take care of things.

I would just hit "T" on the keyboard to display the attached tags in 
"full text mode" at the bottom of the window. It displays the common 
tags attached to all pictures in your selection. If you have only 
selected one picture or are viewing only one picture, it displays all 
its tags.

Hope that helps,
