I have been using Evolution under KDE for several years now, but after upgrading to OpenSUSE 11.2 x86-64, I find that many of the icons are missing (sometimes intermittently), and replaced by little 'X' marks in the application. This is especially annoying in the calendar where I can't tell which options I've set on an appointment (such as alarm or recur).

I posted this to the Gnome bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611874

I have tried to solve this by installing the package gnome-session, which pulled in a lot of other packages. Still I don't seem to have fixed it. Now on closer reading I see that this may be due to the Oxygen theme being incomplete.

Evolution won't use Oxygen icons unless the Oxygen set is configured GNOME- wide, as far as I know. And because icon themes inherit from one another to provide a fallback, any icon missing from Oxygen will be found in 'hicolor', the parent of all icon themes.

I can't say it is the "best" solution, but to fix the problem make sure that gnome-settings-daemon is installed.

Then edit /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop. At the bottom, comment out "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;".

Log out and then back in.

Keep in mind, if gnome-settings-daemon is updated, you'll need to comment out the line again.

You can permanently override the behaviour in the system-wide autostart file by copying it to ~/.config/autostart/ and making the OnlyShowIn edit to the copy. Evolution people: could Evo start its runtime prerequisites itself if they are not already running (ie Evo is not running under GNOME)?
