Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Say we have some deeply nested folder hierarchy as follows: A +--B | +--C | +--D | +--E +--F | +--G | +--H Say that all folders A through H all have custom icons set through their respective "Properties" dialogs. Now say we change the name of folder A, again through its "Property" dialog. Following this, the custom icon settings for all subfolders of A--that is, folders B through H--are lost, and the icons revert to the default folder icon. Boo! Hiss! Now I have to go back and manually fix the icons for all the subfolders. :(
This works for me for KMail in the KDE 3.5 branch. I've just made a quick test. Feel free to reopen if you can reproduce it with any 3.5 version after Beta 2.
Bug 120235 is possibly a duplicate, but need more info.
