To help us fix this problem, I started a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.10. I then installed kubuntu-desktop and all of its dependencies, and finally I installed KDE4. After I installed all of that, I tested the menu editing. Here is what I found out that should help you pinpoint the cause.
1.) After I installed kubuntu-desktop and kde4-core (I also installed kmix-kde4 and juk-kde4) I checked the menu's in both KDE3 and KDE4. With a default install with no modifications to settings, there are no missing icons in either KDE menu. 2.) To test whether or not editing the menu in KDE3 affects the menu in KDE4, I used kmenuedit while logged into KDE3. I created a new directory in the menu, called "Test from KDE3" and underneath that subdirectory I made an icon that I also named "Test From KDE3". I then logged out of KDE3 and then in to KDE4, and the menu option I created was not there. Then, I ran kmenuedit from within KDE4 and the menu item I created (Test >From KDE3) was there, but the icon that I created wasn't. Since this menu didn't have an icon inside, it didn't display in the KDE4 menu. (So the results of this test was that the subdirectory I created in KDE3 copied over to the menu in KDE4, but the icon I created did not). 3.) While logged into KDE4, I created a subdirectory and icon underneath that directory. I named both "Test From KDE4". After I did that, I logged out of KDE4 and back to KDE3, and found out the subdirectory and icon I created was copied into the KDE3 menu. 4.) There were still no missing icons. So, I tried to rearrange the icons to sort them as I wanted to sort them. While logged into KDE3, in kmenuedit I moved the icon for the KDE4 version of Dolphin a few spaces down. The icon renamed itself Dolphin-2. I then deleted the -2 part of the file name. The icon promptly disappeared. I did not save the menu, but if I did, the icon would have had no icon. The main results of my test is that in kmenuedit, if you move a KDE4 version icon of any program, the icon disappears. If the icon does not disappear, rename the icon, and it will disappear. This is how the question mark icons happen. The second result of my test is that kmenuedit in KDE4 and KDE3 DOES affect eachother. The preferred behavior here is that editing the menu in KDE3 should not affect KDE4's menu, and vice versa. Also the preferred behavior is for the icons to NOT disappear when edited. (KDE3 icons don't, after all). If you have any questions let me know and I will do what I can to assist you in correcting this bug. -- Most Icons Missing In KDE4 Kickoff Menu After Menu Update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188803 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
