--- Comment #19 from Michael Pyne <mp...@kde.org> --- I suspect the behavior you're seeing when running another Dolphin instance from KRunner (not kicker ;)) is related to an optimization enabled by default in KDE 4 that is supposed to speed up startup of KDE apps (by routing startup through an always-running kdeinit that clones another copy of itself and morphs into the right application). If this is the problem, then running your KDE desktop with the env var "KDE_IS_PRELINKED" set to 1 should cause Dolphin to work with icon theme changes even when run from KRunner. (This env var disables the kdeinit trick) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
