The icons for some applications are not displayed, see screenchot. They are displayed correctly in kickoff.

Reproducible: Always

This is most likely a consequence of switching to QIconItem in the delegate, which has the advantage of being much faster than IconItem however.

I can't reproduce the problem here; the apps that don't have icons on your shot have icons on my system.

I can reproduce in two different machines, but the applications whose icons are missing are different in each one
Comment 5 Eike Hein 2014-05-05 10:00:37 UTC
Can you detect a pattern in the installation locations for the respective icons?

Move QIcon::fromTheme() out of delegate instanciation hotpath.

Upfront: While I can't reproduce the problem with KMix et all, I noticed that Kicker doesn't show an icon for the Spotify client in my shot, while Kickoff does.

The icon code is now identical to Kickoff's, though this doesn't actually change anything.

Turns out the difference is in the icon *size*: Kickoff's icons are units.iconSizes.medium while Kicker's are units.iconSizes.small, and Spotify doesn't install a 16x16 icon. KDE used to scale down the next-larger size in the past, I think, but apparently no longer does, so the "no icon" fallback is used instead.
