It may be more than a year now that the main menu icons of bluefish do not show up in KDE. The button functionality (open/save/etc.) works and hovering over the buttons pops up the relevant text tool-tip, but no button icons are shown. Reproducible: Always The USE flags are +qt +kde -gtk -gnome. I have tried this on 32bit and 64bit PCs, new OS installations and new user profiles. I have also tried updating the icon cache in /usr/share/icons, but no success. Interestingly, starting bluefish when using a different desktop manager, like e17 works as expected with menu icons showing up. This is what is shown in a terminal, when launched on a 32bit box: ============================================ $ bluefish Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.

It might need an RDEPEND on virtual/freedesktop-icon-theme. Does it help to emerge that?
(In reply to Jeroen Roovers from comment #1) > It might need an RDEPEND on virtual/freedesktop-icon-theme. Does it help to > emerge that? Thanks Jeroen, at least on the 32bit box the virtual is installed: $ eix -l virtual/freedesktop-icon-theme [I] virtual/freedesktop-icon-theme Available versions: 0 Installed versions: 0(19:10:17 02/09/12) Description: A virtual to choose between different icon themes I recall emacs having some similar problem with icons, mentioned in the forums, but I don't know if relevant. -- Regards, Mick
I installed x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme and the missing menu icons problem is gone. Shouldn't this be a dependency on bluefish, or configured to use hicolor-icon-theme, or some default system icon theme? -- Regards, Mick
I guess some of the providers of virtual/freedesktop-icon-theme are not supplying that icons :/ At least on my system, it could be supplied by x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme x11-themes/faenza-icon-theme x11-themes/mate-icon-theme What icon set are you running? The list of icon sets that should provide that icons are: x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme x11-themes/faenza-icon-theme lxde-base/lxde-icon-theme x11-themes/tango-icon-theme kde-apps/oxygen-icons kde-base/oxygen-icons x11-themes/mate-icon-theme
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #4) > What icon set are you running? Unitl I installed x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme to fix this problem, I had these installed which did not bring any icons up: x11-themes/hicolor-icon-theme kde-base/kdeartwork-iconthemes kde-base/kdebase-menu-icons kde-base/kdepim-icons kde-base/oxygen-icons -- Regards, MIck
it's strange, per: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/oxygen-icons/files/ oxygen-icon-theme can provide window-close.png icon, but looks like they have a newer version than us (the same on Fedora): https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/oxygen-icons
FYI, this is a production machine, so I'm running stable packages: kde-base/oxygen-icons-4.14.3 -- Regards, Mick
oxygen-icons does provide those icons - you need to use kde-gtk-config to select the Oxygen icon style.
(In reply to Michael Palimaka (kensington) from comment #8) > oxygen-icons does provide those icons - you need to use kde-gtk-config to > select the Oxygen icon style. Thanks Michael, but in the past (some months ago) this was not necessary. Also, other gtk apps do not have this problem. -- Regards, Mick
Are you able to get any logs by running under strace? Would be interesting to see what paths it's trying to load from.
