What style do you use?

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re[2]: Bug#19446: unselecting 'icons with text' doesn't work Date: Wed 31 Jan 2001 21:39:08 +0100 From: Fox <enryfox@tiscalinet.it> Reply-To: Fox <enryfox@tiscalinet.it> To: Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org> References: <20010131081513.15083.qmail@master.kde.org><3A77CBD4.A39F06DA@kde.org> <7942667142.20010131195915@tiscalinet.it><3A7869D4.9B5862B@kde.org> i've debugged the situation that's what happens : kcontrol correctly modifies the .kde/share/config/kdeglobals; but if you simply move or modify a toolbar in any kde application (eg konqueror) then this application writes in its own config file a section that contains the toolbar settings including the icontext option. From that moment on this toolbar option cannot be modified via kcontrol but only with a right click on the toolbar itself and selecting the correct option. In other words after a little personalization of the most common kde application (kmail konqueror koffice ...) this options in kcontrol becomes pretty useless because every application has its own toolbars settings and doesn't follow the setting in kcontrol. but afterall it's simply an aesthetical problem :-) thanks for your attention ciao Enrico Wednesday January 31 2001 8:39:00 PM Stephan Kulow scrisse: SK> Fox wrote: >> >> i'm not using any particular style it's simply the default kde2 >> style. but i fear that this problem (like other ..) is related with mandrake's >> tweaking of kde 2.

Why was this bug closed? As far as I can tell, this still happens with KDE 3.5.3. Lots of my rc files have IconText=IconOnly in them, though I have never modified the setting from within the application.
so do I
Note that it's also debian but http://bugs.debian.org/295928
After investigation, it seems that comment #2 is correct - after any manual adjustment of a toolbar in an application, then that application is then immune from central changes in toolbar policy from KControl. Therefore this bug is valid.
Probably this behaviour won't be changed on KDE3. A similar issue has already been reported on KDE4. So I'm closing this.
