Yes it happens on every theme where the icons are png files. I found a theme called mono which is composed of .svgx files (Scalable Vector graphics). /opt/kde3/share/icons/mono/scalable/actions That theme works because libpng is not involved. Its sort of minimalist, but its starting to grow on me, which is just as well since its the only one that works. This theme is installed parallel to all the other themes in 10.1 in /opt/kde3/share/icons/. Your idea about endian errors seems like it might be a good candidate or be some how related. I suspected a library routing problem, where 32 bit libs are called with a 64bit data area which might explain why it thinks its getting an invalid width. When I installed 10.1 it worked perfectly. It wasn't till I upgraded KDE from http://repos.opensuse.org/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.1/ via the software updater. (zmd) that the icons were no longer displayed. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
