I have just slightly changed the description of the bug (favourites->favorites) - before I reported the bug, I had searched the database for quite a while, because I didn't believe that it hadn't been reported before, but apparently using the wrong keywords. Using the US english spelling might help.
I have some information concerning the bug: The problem seems to affect only applications that have their desktop files in the directory /usr/share/applications (like Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.), while apps that have a desktop file in /usr/share/applications/kde4 or /usr/share/applications/kde work fine. I have watched .kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc and it seems, that the url given for the desktop files is broken. While for the working icons, the Url is Url=file:///usr/share/applications/kde4/ksysguard.desktop for the inoperative icons it is Url=firefox.desktop When I kill plasma, manually fix the entry in plasma-appletsrc, and restart plasma, the icons work. ** Summary changed: - kubuntu kde4 intrepid kickoff menu, items added to favourites dont keep correct icon, generic gear shown + kubuntu kde4 intrepid kickoff menu, items added to favorites dont keep correct icon, generic gear shown -- kubuntu kde4 intrepid kickoff menu, items added to favorites dont keep correct icon, generic gear shown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254688 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
