Hi, I noticed a strange thing about the menu icons of KDE4: All programs which are not KDE-natives have in fact two icons in the menu. One like it is supposed to be (e.g., "Mozilla Firefox" with the Firefox icon), the other one out of shape (e.g., "mozilla-firefox 3.5", "mozilla-firefox 3.5.desktop", with a generic icon). They do not appear in the usual menu, but only if you *search* for them using the KDE start menu search bar. Cheers, Nico Reproducible: Always
Thanks for reporting this issue. Could you provide a little more info: * version of kde4 you are using * output of 'emerge --info'

Created attachment 199668 [details] Searching for Thunderbird in the KDE menu A screenshot illustrating the problem.
With the upgrade to KDE 4.3, this odd behavior is gone. Marking as WORKSFORME.
