If no icon is specified for a menu entry or the icon is missing, it shows a black square for the icon instead of the generic fallback icon (paper with question mark icon). This is occuring after https://projects.kde.org/projects/frameworks/kiconthemes/repository/revisions/b0a6df6fbd9117b41a7f4e3bc861e20fbadb1956 was committed. Before the commit, it shows the generic fallback icon correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right-click the KDE menu icon and click Edit Applications 2. Click New Item 3. Enter "Fallback Icon Test" for Name field 4. Enter "konsole" for Command field 5. Click Save 6. Click the KDE menu icon and navigate to the newly added menu entry Actual Results: The menu entry should show the generic fallback icon. Expected Results: The menu entry shows a black square as the icon.
Oliver, have a look please.
I added explicit fallbacks to Kicker's fromTheme calls in aa08cd4 now. I'm a bit disappointed this is no longer handled by the lib (even if it was only handled as side-effect of a bug :), but it looks like our hands are tied by the documented behavior of fromTheme() and the fd.o spec not explicitly mentioning the "unknown" icon - even if our platform plugin were to mix it in, it would be wrong for app code to code against that since it can't rely on other plugins doing so.
