Description Andrew Lake 2008-05-24 18:16:13 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

Actually this only affect plasma components that use PanelSvg.  Others (like analog clock) appear to update correctly on a theme change.

I've been staring at the PanelSvg, Svg and Theme code for the last week and have had no luck figuring out why I can't compell this thing to update properly on a theme change.

How to reproduce:
- Right-click on desktop and select Desktop Settings.
- Under Desktop Theme pick a theme different from the one currently selected.
- Click Apply or OK.

Workaround:
Restart KDE.

I find that resizing/ moving the panel seems to make it adopt the new theme, if that helps to narrow down the cause.
