I see the issue, too. But I have no idea where this comes from.

My quik-fix is

emerge -C --deselect=n xpra
rmdir /usr/share/icons/xpra.png
rm -i /usr/share/icons/xpra.png.backup.*
emerge -av1 xpra

At least xpra-0.4.0 and -0.4.1 do install one regular file named xpra.png,
maybe this was an install problem on <= 0.3.3

These versions are gone now.
