In addition, I don't understand this phrase '(also, which the Google one not square)?'

If the blue rectangle is a selection mark, and, I believe that it is, then why would it be sqaare in, say, four icons, and rectangular in two icons?

On a matter of definition, what is the technical difference between an icon and an image?

1. It should not but bugs happen
   
2. s/which/why/. The Google one is 128x129
   
3. I don't know, but you can't really accuse Gimp on anything that happens outside the image borders. But see 2) first
   
4. Usage. An icon is meant to be clicked on. Then there is the .ICO file type used in Windows which is actually a set of images, usually the same drawing at various sizes.
   

If you use ksnapshot you are likely be using KDE, so where do you see the problem? I added your two icons to a launcher and to my desktop and they behave identically (KDE 4.13.3)
