KDE-Forum.org

Hello together!

First I want to say: KDE people, thanks a lot for this ingenious windowmanager! I can't live without it anymore!

Now, my problem: I don't know if this is the right forum, but I think it's a more a technical problem (or a bug of KDE 3.2.1?) than an optical.

I just want to use another iconset in KDE3.2.1, the new version (1.0) of the crystalsvg icons from www.kde-look.org. So in the corresponding settings dialog i thought it might be a good idea to delete the old crystalsvg version before i install the new version. - This wasn't a good idea as i know today
Because I used at this moment the old crystalsvg iconset every icons disappears as I deleted the iconset.

I thought as soon as I install the new crystalsvg iconset or use any other iconset the icons will be back again, but this were an illusion. I haven't any icons at the moment on all kdeapplications, kdedialogs, kde menu, kde desktop and so on.

so far I've done the following:
- I looked in the .xsession-errors file, there are some interesting errors:
[code:1]
kdecore (KIconLoader): ERROR: Error: standard icon theme "crystalsvg" not found
!
QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used
kdesktop: WARNING: Pixmap not found for mimetype application/x-desktop
[/code:1]
Every error will appear many times, for different mimetypes.
So I searched for crystalsvg in the etc directory and found something useful in /etc/kde3/system.kdeglobals
[code:1]
Theme=crystalsvg
[/code:1]
OK, i changed this
[code:1]
Theme=kids
[/code:1]
but the same problem occurred also after this, it doesn't change anything. Even the same failures in .xsession-errors will still appear ("kdecore (KIconLoader): ERROR: Error: standard icon theme "crystalsvg" not found!").
I thought this already, because this file was last changed in October 2003 or something like this. So the actual changes wasn't saved in this file, but then the question is where are these iconset settings saved?

- I reinstalled the kdeartwork-theme-icon package. Via
[code:1]
apt-get remove --purge kdeartwork-theme-icon
[/code:1]
I also used
[code:1]
dpkg-reconfigure kdeartwork-theme-icon
[/code:1]
Nothing changes, i can select the crystalsvg or any other iconset, say ok (don't know how this button is labelled in english version -> i use the german one) to use this iconset but nothing changes.

- With another user i have the same problem, needless to say that I was so stupid to make such experiments with the root account

- I deleted the .kde directory in the home directory, nothing changes

OK, I really know that what I have done wasn't a flash of genius, but how can I fix this problem. Where are the iconset settings saved? Can anyone help me!
Thanks a lot!

Ciao,

Homer

/var/log/kdm doesn't say much more than the .xsession-errors file, but I will post this anyhow, may be it helps.

[code:1]
KThemeStyle cache seems corrupt!

QImage::convertDepth: Image is a null image
QImage::smoothScale: Image is a null image
kdecore (KIconLoader): ERROR: Error: standard icon theme "crystalsvg" not found
!
[/code:1]
This will also appear many, many, many times in the log file.

BR,

Homer
