Description Carlo 2021-05-01 16:49:06 UTC

SUMMARY
In Inkscape icons are really important to quickly identify different functions between the many options. Not being able to see them heavily impacts the workflow.
In order to work around this issue I am forced to blacklist inkscape in org.appmenu.gtk-module in dconf.

Following I show the differences:
* Inkscape with KDE's global menu: https://i.imgur.com/zmhkCXG.png
* Inkscape with Gtk/default menu: https://i.imgur.com/YipgySe.png

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.81.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Inkscape: 1.0.2 / 1.1.beta

Comment 1 David Edmundson 2021-05-23 23:15:28 UTC

It seems some data is sent at a dbus-menu level. 


{'action': <'unity.-Raise-Layer'>, 'accel': <'<Primary><Shift>Page_Up'>, 'label': <'_Raise Layer'>, 'icon': <('themed', <['layer-raise', 'layer', 'layer-raise-symbolic', 'layer-symbolic']>)>}, 

Seems we have an icon name specified, but if that icon doesn't exist in Breeze, it's not too surprising we don't show anything. At no point is any other icon information sent.

I'm not convinced we have any options here.

There is a breeze icon named "layer-raise", FWIW.

Comment 3 David Redondo 2021-06-16 08:48:37 UTC

Does it depend on the inkscape/gtk version? Mine doesn't send it
[{'action': <'unity.Ebene-an-heben'>, 'accel': <'<Primary><Shift>Page_Up'>, 'label': <'Ebene an_heben'>},

*** Bug 454732 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 6 Guido 2024-11-12 15:27:18 UTC

I have changed the title as the bug does not only affect Inkscape but all GTK 2/3 applications

Comment 7 TraceyC 2025-09-02 19:37:44 UTC

Confirm this is still a problem in git-master with gtk3 (xournal++) and gtk4 (ghostty) apps
