There's a few potential things going on here.

First off, WebKit has a newer icon database format from Safari 2.  So the first
time you launch WebKit, you *will* lose all of your Safari 2 icons.  This is by
design, to upgrade your Safari 2 icons.

However, this one time conversion should happen only once.  You weren't at all
clear about how often you've seen this, so if it was only once... not a
problem!

Secondly, the SPI of the icon database itself has moved from a synchronous
model to a fully asynchronous model.  This means when Safari asks for an icon,
sometimes it doesn't get the actual icon right away but instead it is notified
later when the icon is read in from disk.

Safari 2 doesn't support these notifications, so when you're running WebKit.app
you might notice that history/bookmarks don't have icons showing the first time
you view them.

But, in general, this bug is kind of vague about exactly what is going on - can
you narrow down steps like, in what order you launched Safari 2 and WebKit.app,
whether or not you'd launched WebKit.app before, etc etc.?

To "start over" with your icons, you can delete both ~/Library/Safari/Icons/
(Safari 2 style) and ~/Library/Safari/WebpageIcons.db (or just Icons.db for
older WebKits) for Safari 3 style.
