(re)start kicker with a kbinaryclock applet Actual Results: kbinaryclock displays a larger green kled in front of other leds Expected Results: kbinaryclock doesn't display an extra, unstyled led when first started.

This bug seems not to be Gentoo specific and was also reported here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96541 I suggest you ask to reopen that bug.
Created attachment 71825 [details, diff] patch to fix erroneous visible leds when applet started with seconds invisible from upstream; works perfectly via my edited ebuild for kicker-applets-3.4.3
