I am running Dolphin:

Version 16.04.3

Using:
KDE Frameworks 5.23.0
Qt 5.6.1 (built against 5.6.1)
The xcb windowing system


I am also running Konqueror:

Version 4.14.20


Since the update to 4.14.20, Konqueror has regained its ability to work as a 
file manager, open directories/files with single click, have icons in its menu 
bar and its drop down menus.  From what I can tell it works as it always did 
in the pre-plasma days.

Unlike Konqueror, Dolphin looks, feels and works like a half baked alpha 
version software with missing functionality.  No icons, have to double click 
for everything and whatever else may still not work properly.  I am guessing 
that it is not yet ready for human consumption, but future versions will 
hopefully work properly again.  Until then I will continue to use Konqueror, 
as I have always done under KDE2,3,4.  :-)

I tried another brute-force approach,
moved  /usr/share/icons/hi-color  to  -/-/-/hicolor-dft
& made a symlink  -/-/-/hicolor -> oxygen .
This has restored the toolbar icons, while folder icons remain ok.

This seems to have no extra effect,
but the Arch Forum has another suggestion, which improves things,
ie to create  ~/.config/kdeglobals  & include

  [Icons]
  Theme=oxygen

That gets the folder icons in the browse view,
tho' not the icons in the toolbars.

I also have the other problem the Arch OP had encountered,
ie selecting items now requires a double-click.  I added

  [KDE]
  SingleClick=true

but it has made no difference.

Is there a help file somewhere listing possible lines in  kdeglobals ?

I switch around a lot between 4 virtual desktops and 2 displays.
Haven't experienced that myself.
Difference: Using Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU.

I upgraded yesterday from 5.7.4 to 5.7.5. I hoped the problem I have had 
been fixed, but no. If I switch desktops too many times, or too often or 
something, the desktop becomes unusable until I reboot (I haven't tried just 
restarting xdm). It flickers rapidly, bits of one desktop are shown in the 
middle of another or on a blank background, and it's hard to see just which 
is the currently active desktop.

This may be a bad interaction with the xorg-driver for my AMD GPU, which has 
only been on the market for about a year. Though sys-firmware/amdgpu-ucode 
hasn't changed since June.

I'm not sure how long that will take.
I've been running 5.7.4 without any obvious issues for a while now...

Attached is the "package.accept_keywords"  file I use for 5.7.4

It's up to you to decide, but every time you log-out, you'll have the same 
issue with 5.6...

Quick guess, you are running "stable" kde plasma (5.6.5)?
There is a bug there that is fixed in later versions.

I am using 5.7.4 and haven't seen that issue anymore.


Yes, you are correct, I'm running stable (5.6.5).
Then I'll have to wait for next release to "go stable" or try upgrading 
to 5.7.4.


Thanks for your support.
