Version: (using KDE 4.1.96) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs This has been happening through multiple updates of KDE since before KDE 3.5. I report it here because I finally fixed it, but I think it's a bug. What happens is that the panel icon for Kmix is not the usual loudspeaker image, but something else (hard to describe, but looks like a tilted sheet of paper with some blue stuff on it). No amount of changing the desktop theme makes any difference. I fixed it by renaming .kde/share/config/kmixrc, then logging out and in again. However this file has no reference to an icon, which makes me think it's a bug. I can provide the old and new files if required (don't see an easy way to attach them here).
There's an "Add an attachment" link at the bottom in a section labeled "Attachments". :)
Created attachment 31150 [details] Old kmixrc file This is what kmixrc looked like when I was getting the strange icon.
Can you take a screenshot of the bug and attach it here? Using your text description it sounds like the "missing" icon, probably a installation bug. Thanks
I'll do it if there's no alternative but it'll mean reverting my fix. If you can post the "missing" icon, or tell where to find it, I can confirm it at once.
The Oxygen icon is named "unknown". It may be located under "/usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/mimetypes/unknown.png" (the path may vary depending on the distribution)
I did a 'locate unknown.png' and looked at all 88 results but I don't recognize it. Some candidates were similar but with different colours, especially one that looks like a '?', except it's orange instead of blue. Unfortunately, after reverting the fix with a saved copy of kmixrc, the problem didn't come back, so it may have to remain a mystery. I'm OK with it since it now works.
The "unknown" icon is a white sheet of paper with a blue "?" inside. I'm marking this as WORKSFORME, as you don't experience the bug anymore. Please reopen if the bug re-appears
Fair enough. The '?' was definitely blue and didn't fit on the paper i.e. it was cropped, making it hard to identify, however that icon is no longer on my system with that name.
