--- Comment #19 from Alexander Potashev <aspotas...@gmail.com> --- The different behavior of icon setting for predefined and custom icons can be explained by this block of code: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/accountsservice/-/blob/master/src/user.c#L1506 "if ((mode & S_IROTH) == 0 ||" AccountsService copies the icon into /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/ if it's not universally readable. Other users can't read files in your $HOME, therefore AccountsService will copy the icon and Kickoff will see the new picture immediately. ---- We can apply a workaround to let Kickoff do its job: copy any selected PNG into a file in $HOME where it won't be universally readable (e.g. ~/.face), especially when the user pick a predefined icon. Maybe we also need to revive this code from the old KCM: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/user-manager/-/blob/master/src/accountinfo.cpp#L184 " //we want to save the face using AccountsService, but for backwards compatibility we also..." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
