--- Comment #15 from Alexander Potashev <aspotas...@gmail.com> --- I think I've found the root cause: AccountsService (https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/AccountsService/) may set the avatar by updating files in /var/lib/AccountsService/{icons,users}/, while the code in kdeclarative.git/src/qmlcontrols/kcoreaddons/kuserproxy.cpp only reacts to changes in /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/. I'm not sure, but maybe AccountsService's behavior changed over time: - In Plasma 5.18.5 on Fedora I see that for predefined icons, a PNG is being copied into /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/ - In Plasma 5.19.90 on Archlinux when I pick a predefined icon for avatar, only /var/lib/AccountsService/users/aspotashev would be added, and the dir /var/lib/AccountsService/users/ won't be touched. ---- Now we have at least two options for fixing it: 1. Hacky approach: Update kdeclarative.git/src/qmlcontrols/kcoreaddons/kuserproxy.cpp to also track /var/lib/AccountsService/users/[loginName] for changes with KDirWatch. This although doesn't protect us from potential future changes in AccountsService's behavior. 2. Proper fix: Subscribe to D-Bus signal "changed" for the currently logged in user. Can't say for sure if changing the icon would emit the signal though, this needs testing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
