I'm just as surprised as you are, because I've known the effect in the 
Gtk 3 version of Gramps for about a year or so, already, primarily on 
Windows, but also on Linux Mint.

You did not mention your video card, but my PCs (desktop and laptop) 
have nVidia cards, and I use the latest nVidia drivers in Windows, and 
on my desktop in Linux too. On my laptop, where I type this right now, I 
still run Linux Mint 17.3 with the standard open source driver, but I 
will try to replace that with the recommended nVidia one, and see how 
that influences the icon refresh.

I'll let you all know in a few minutes, and then also tell the Gtk 
version used.

cheers,

Enno
