[opensuse-kde] KDE4 Quirks: Corrupted panel icons and system-tray launching: Anyone else experiencing?
Hi all, Couple of quirks I've come across in KDE 4.0.1 (OS 10.3), wondering if anyone else is experiencing because I'm trying to determine where to send the bug report, can't find anything existing on BKO or openSUSE bugzilla. 1) My panel has problems rendering icons for non-KDE3/4 applications. When running apps, if they are not KDE3/4 applications (ie. Yast, virtualbox) the icon in the panel will be corrupted (although the app description text will be correct). Sometimes it will be gibberish, sometimes it be another app icon, sometimes it will be a distorted system tray icon, etc. Couldn't see anything about this related to plasma on BKO. My initial uninformed thought was that maybe this has something to do with the widespread use of SVG in KDE4, but then it works for KDE3 apps, so I'm confused. 2) Using kmail/KDE3, when the app is reduced to the system tray, I can't "relaunch" it. If I try to, it is immediately minimized to my task bar, and even clicking on it won't produce a window. If I right click, it shows that "minimize" is selected as an option, and I must manually select "maximize", which opens it maximized, and then I must manually use the un-maximize button (is there a name for it?) to make it a rational size on my desktop. Have only run into this with KMail/KDE3. Other KDE3 systray'd apps seem to work fine when I click on them (ie. kpowersave) when it comes to opening a window. If anyone has experienced these and has a solution, I'd be grateful, but otherwise I guess I should open a bug report, just wondering if I'm "alone" here?

For kde bugs you should search http://bugs.kde.org

Known issue, see above.

This works for me, you have to click twice though in some cases. Sven --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
