Description of problem: After the upgrade from FC1 to FC2 I noted that the crystal icons in my k-menu (for Accessories/Graphics/...) are missing (they are replaced by some gnome icons). This looks really ugly! Please fix. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.2.2-1 kdelibs-3.2.2-3
Still here with kdebase-3.2.2-4 and kdelibs-3.2.2-6
i'm still working on it ;-)
I just looked at the differences between FC1 and FC2 KDE in FC1 (kdebase-3.2.2-0.1) does not use the redhat menues, it uses the KDE-*.directory files. KDE in FC2 uses the redhat *.directory files (and not the kde-*.directory) files. Moreover, since the Redhat-*.icons are not present in the crystal icon set, it uses those from hicolor. Hoever, the new gnome-icon-theme installs everything into /usr/share/icons/hicolor (rather than /usr/share/icons/gnome) and hence kde picks those.
Still present in fc3 kde 3.3.1
This is a somewhat more fundamental problem with fedora/rh settings in kde. Since the KDE menu is built from /etc/xdg/menus and there are no corresponding icons at all in crystal for the Icon=redhat-* entries, they are, as Gerald pointed out, substituted from bluecurve(?). The solution (which i will implement ASAP) is to symlink the appropriate crystal package_ icons into redhat- icons, so kiconloader can find those versions.
yes, symlinking the appropriate crystal package icons into redhat icons is a just a workaround. I think, a clean solution would be that we have to define a common icon name for that or perhaps overtake the icon name from KDE. Then changing the item "Icon=..." in all the desktop files in /usr/share/desktop-directories/, add symlinks in bluecurve icons theme
Ok, i looked into the issue some more. In bluecurve, the redhat-*.png icons are just symlinks to real icons as well, so adding similar symlinks to crystal shouldn't be a problem, really. What however is more of a problem is to find corresponding icons in crystal... Going to do so now.
Should be fixed. Please report omissions in a new bugreport if you still find some. Thanks.
