Description Weng Xuetian 2013-09-05 21:05:30 UTC
Application like Quassel / KDevelop which depends on icon under (irc-channel-active, dirsync)

/usr/share/apps/<app name>/icons doesn't work anymore, strace shows that icon under that folder doesn't load at all. (path depends on prefix)

I have another machine with KDE 4.11.0 which seems ok.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
strace quassel 2>&1 | grep '/usr/share/apps/quassel/icons'

Actual Results:  
no icon is loaded under this path

Expected Results:  
it should load icon with such path

It also affects Kolourpaint, making its toolbox unusable. Let's see if I can find the commit that broke it.

I confirm it. I have this issue with kolourpaint and krusader.
Comment 4 Luca Giambonini 2013-09-08 19:36:48 UTC
Exact same problem here with the calligra suite. With kde version 4.11.0 no problem, but after the update to 4.11.1 this issue arise.
I confirm the issue on kolourpaint too.

David, I have no idea which commit in 4.11.1 could affect icon loading, maybe it is related to the sycoca change to fix MIME handling?
Comment 7 Christoph Feck 2013-09-08 21:30:58 UTC
(See also regressions at bug 324502 and bug 324651 which could also be caused by the same commits)
Comment 8 Aljaž Kolšek 2013-09-08 22:07:40 UTC
I confirm this problem with Krita 2.7.1
Comment 9 Aristide 2013-09-08 22:21:28 UTC
I confirm problem with many icons in Digikam

I've tried reverting that commit, with the same result - no icons...
Comment 11 Martin Koller 2013-09-09 09:19:48 UTC
raising to critical as it renders at least kolourpaint useless

KIconLoader requires KApplication constructed to get the correct application name and mainComponent, while the plugin is loaded before KApplication construct finishes.
Comment 13 Weng Xuetian 2013-09-09 12:48:07 UTC
I just proposed a patch.

Delay KDE class initialization to main loop

Gui platform plugin is loaded during QApplication construction, but it
relies on some KApplication/QApplication data to work correctly.

This patch delays the initialization to main loop, to ensure
KApplication/QApplication is already constructed.
