After emerging KBFX, it does not show up in the "add applet" menu. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge kbfx 2.in KDE right-click on the panel 3.select "add applet to panel" Actual Results: KBFX Spinx is not listed Expected Results: KBFX Spinx is listed The fix is very simple: # dcop --all-users kicker default restart This could be added to the end of the ebuild.

Instead, I had to copy libkbfxspinx.* into /usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3 from /usr/lib and /usr/share/apps/kicker/applets/kbfxspinx.desktop to /usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/kicker/applets. Even when doing this, the menu does not have the scroll up/dn images on it.
Can't reproduce.
Since when is one allowed to close a bug simply because it works for that person? The point of a bug is that there is some unexpected condition causing it. Just because you are not encountering this condition does not mean that others aren't. This is rather ridiculous.
(In reply to comment #2) > Can't reproduce. Glad to hear it works for one/some/most system(s). I wonder why I needed to poke dcop? I haven't made it a priority (aka I don't have time) to dig into how applets, kicker, and dcop interact, however I'd be happy to work with someone who has to actually resolve this. Also, why is kbfxspinx.desktop so special as to where it's .desktop file gets installed? On your working system, where is 'kbfspinx.desktop'? ---snip--- # ls /usr/share/apps/kicker/applets/ kbfxspinx.desktop # ls /usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/kicker/applets artscontrolapplet.desktop kdictapplet.desktop knewsticker.desktop kweather.desktop mediacontrol.desktop runapplet.desktop clockapplet.desktop kfifteenapplet.desktop kolourpicker.desktop kwwapplet.desktop menuapplet.desktop systemtrayapplet.desktop eyesapplet.desktop klipper.desktop kpfapplet.desktop lockout.desktop minipagerapplet.desktop taskbarapplet.desktop kbinaryclock.desktop kmixapplet.desktop ksysguardapplet.desktop mathapplet.desktop naughtyapplet.desktop trashapplet.desktop kcharselectapplet.desktop kmoonapplet.desktop ktimemon.desktop mediaapplet.desktop quicklauncher.desktop ---snip---
I'm not convinced this bug is resolved, however I recognize the limited resources and desire to close bugs, so am opting to leave it resolved FOR NOW. Should anyone else experience a similar issue, PLEASE REOPEN THIS BUG.

(In reply to comment #6) > (In reply to comment #4) > > (In reply to comment #2) So this bug seems to be resolved for me with the latest kbfx e-build (0.4.9.3.1-r1) since it installs into /usr/kde/3.5/ instead of /usr/.
