** Description changed: Binary package hint: kde4 Hi there, at first - I use the *german* kubuntu 8.10 64bit - so maybe some terms are not correctly translated here... Sorry for that. - System: Kde4.1.2 (apt-cache policy packagename), latest regular updates - as of today / kubuntu 8.10 - AMD64 + +++ Update: I've checked it back on the kubuntu live cd v. 8.10. x386 in + english on a Virtualizer (virtual Box) ---> Same bug here (as on KDE + 4.1.3 from backports). +++ + + + System: Kde4.1.2 (apt-cache policy packagename), latest regular updates as of today / kubuntu 8.10 - AMD64 How should it be: - I add a icon from k menue to the workspace or the panel per right klick. - I change the name of the appearing minimal plasmoid. Now the plamoid + I add a icon from k menue to the Desktop or the panel per right klick. I + change the name of the appearing minimal plasmoid. Now the plasmoid name should be changed - and nothing else. What goes wrong: - Let's say you have added an icon from the k menue to your panel or to your workspace/desktop (right click to a an item in k menue - and choose "zur Arbeitsflaeche/Kontrollpanel hinzufuegen" / in english propably "add to workspace/control panel") . + + Let's say you have added an icon from the k menue to your panel or to your workspace/desktop (right click to a an item in k menue - and choose "Add to Desktop / Panel") . The icon will appear as minimal plasmoid (including the typical plasmoid controls like turning or resizing). - If you now change the name of the plasmoid (lets say from "firefox web browser" to firefox) - and nothing else is touched! - it will change the icon from the well known firefox symbol into a question mark. It will also disappear from K Menue --> Programs --> Internet (in german K --> Programme --> Internet) and will reapear (as question mark) in K Menue --> Programs --> uncategorized. (I guess, in german its under K Menue --> Programme --> Nicht zuzuordnen). + If you now change the name of the plasmoid (lets say from "firefox web browser" to firefox) - and nothing else is touched! - it will change the icon from the well known firefox symbol into a question mark. It will also disappear from K Menue --> Applications --> Internet and will reapear (as question mark) in K Menue --> Applications --> Lost & Found. However it still starts firefox. BTW: The original firefox icon itself does not appear, when you you look for it in system icons under the general plasmoid properties tab. And WTF: The name remains unchanged! - Changing the name I archived with clicking on properties --> program (third cardrider) --> name (in german: Symbol einrichten-->Programm-->Name). + BTW: Changing the name was archived with right clicking on the desktop icon-plasmoid --> icon settings --> application --> Name. F2 does not work here - unlike in every other environment known to mankind (gnome, XFCE, errrm windows, etc.). I of course did not change the start command :) However I did change the start command of another program also added to the panel directly per right click from the k menue. - I wanted another geometry for konsole (which by the way does not work anyway - the --geometry switch just is not reacting - I think/hope this is reported) so I changed the start command from "konsole" to "konsole --geometry 132x25" --> this changed the konsole icon from the well known terminal symbol to a questionmark *and* did not start konsole at all and moved it inside the k menue to the uncategorized section. + I wanted another geometry for konsole (which by the way does not work anyway - the --geometry switch just is not reacting - I think/hope this is reported) so I changed the start command from "konsole" to "konsole --geometry 132x25" --> this changed the konsole icon from the well known terminal symbol to a questionmark *and* did not start konsole at all and moved it inside the k menue to the "lost & found" section. So I changed the start command back to simply "konsole" - so anything should be back like before. But no - the question mark stayed and konsole is not startable again, the original k menue entry is lost. Konsole is not starting even when typing "konsole" into the ALT F2 panel (but wait - there comes a second symbol "konsole au" - klicking this works) - Thanks god it starts from within the commandline from krusader - the "total commander" clone. So basically - changing something unimportant - like the name of Program - Starter Plasmoids - moves them unasked inside the K Menue, changes the - icon to a stupid question mark and may make them unusable forever. + Starter Plasmoids - moves them inside the K Menue, changes the icon to a + stupid question mark and may make them unusable forever.
