Icons missing in system tray

[Patrick Boutilier]

In case anybody else runs across this.


KDE 4.2 from rawhide.


For the longest time all of the icons except ksynaptic's would be 
invisible in my system tray on my laptop. You could click on where the 
icons were supposed to be, or hover over them to see tooltips, but the 
icon itself was invisible. The odd thing was that my machine at work 
(also rawhide) did not have this problem.

At first I thought it might be an nvidia issue (both laptop and work 
machine use the nvidia drivers) but I was also having overheating issues 
with the laptop so I borrowed another Dell laptop while mine was being 
repaired. Just put the hard drive in this newer Dell with an intel video 
card and the problem persisted.

This morning I updated kdelibs and noticed that /etc/profile.d/kde4.sh 
was created as /etc/profile.d/kde4.sh.rpmnew which meant I had modified 
/etc/profile.d/kde4.sh . I had added export KDE_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 a 
while back and this was the cause of the problems. Removed export 
KDE_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 and logged back in again and now all icons 
appear in the systray. :-)
