[opensuse-kde3] Hah! 11.4 desktop configured - Despite no kcontrol :)
Ilya, All, I got the kde3 desktop configured in my favorite blueslate theme and the icon sizes set even with kcontrol broken :) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/ss/kde/opensuse_114-blueslate.jpg http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/ss/kde/opensuse_114-blueslate-menu.jpg If you want to configure you icon size, etc.. while waiting on kcontrol to be fixed, you can use the following ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals as a reference. Just exit kde then edit your ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals and add the following sections: [DesktopIcons] [Icons] [MainToolbarIcons] [PanelIcons] [SmallIcons] [ToolbarIcons] ** you must NOT be in kde3 when you do this or kdeglobals may be overwritten on exit. (it should preserve you setting, but why chance it) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/suse/11.4/kde3/kdeglobals -- David C.

You're just luck or good.... Are you running i686 or x86_64?

HTH :)
That let's me open 'kcmshell kthememanager' -> 'Icons', but kcontrol is still empty: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/suse/bugs/114/kde3/kcontrol-empty-2.jpg -- David C.

x86_64
It must be a bug in kdeglobals parsing or in the default icon theme! I just opened 'kcmshell kthememanager' and pressed 'Icons' and it didn't crash this time! This is the first time it has worked since I installed 11.4.

Did you use the default (Crystal) icon theme before? It seems this affects only those who use it. I use DarkGlass_Reworked, maybe because of that I had no such problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help@opensuse.org

I think you might be on to something! I did a 'clean' 11.4 install, so I had nothing on the computer at all before I loaded 11.4/kde3. It is the default configuration that has this problem. When I installed 11.3 (where kcontrol works), I updated from 11.1? to 11.3 and I would have already had the icons changed. I don't know how you would test this other than maybe creating another user and copying over a 11.3 ~/.kde directory before starting kde for the first time. I'll give it a go and let you know.... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help@opensuse.org

Did not work. I created a new user, then rsync'ed an 11.3 ~/.kde/share/conf to the new user (default icons: iceglass) and then started kde3 on 11.4. kcontrol is still empty. Next guess? -- David C.
