Icons do not display

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Happens if Google Earth is open when network link is opened. 

This is the opposite of issue #188.  #188 talks about what happens if a 
network link is opened when Google Earth is CLOSED.  This issue talks 
about what happens if a network link is opened when Google Earth is OPEN.

Steps to recreate 
1) Open Google Earth. 
2) For the attached example to show data, you need to be zoomed in 
close.  For example,  34.449749°, -118.609749° at a range of 13315m 
works fine. 
2) Open the network link, either from the Google Earth menu or from 
windows explorer. 
3) Do not move the mouse.  Repeat - Keep your hands off the mouse! 
4) The link opens, the polygons are displayed, but the icons are not 
displayed. 
5) Move the mouse. 
6) The icons are displayed.

The fix reported by mrtxema for issue #189, "Network link does not refresh" 
also 
fixes the issue here.

Need to add both refreshMode onInterval and a large refreshInterval to the 
network 
link.

Marking fixed, see posted workarounds.

• Changed state: Fixed

Update: This problem also exists if viewRefreshMode is onRequest.  The above 
workaround does not fix the problem.
