Bug 259619 – KDE system tray does not show icons with qt 4.5

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description M 2009-02-19 18:12:08 UTC]

When I upgraded QT to 4.5 and then rebuild -every- QT and KDE related package, the icons in the system tray would not show. I can still click on them but there aren't any actual images (although the tray is correctly sized). Everything else seems to be working. This happened both with and without KDE compositing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install qt 4.5
2. Rebuild qt and kde packages

I have this same issue. Interestingly the amarok 1 icon seems to work fine - it's the KDE4 app icons which seem to be broken.

I have identical problem on 2 computers ( 64bit nvidia 9600 gt / 32bit intel 945 ) with kde 4.2, after upgrading QT to 4.5. Only one working icon is "i" icon for copy/move window ( amarok icon is broken ) , and most of icons shows just before closing its application. I wrote small qt program just to put some icon in system tray and it is invisible too. Reemerging qt/kde changes nothing. Sorry for my not perfect english :)

Same situation here, no icon shown at all (besides windows notification seems to be broken too). Core Duo 32 bit, intel 945.

Like Grzegorz, the "I" icon is the only to works

I use closed nvidia driver (x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.15, NV36 [GeForce FX Go5700] )

I try with "vesa", and icons work !

So it seem to be a nvidia bug

Problem seems to be resolved with >=xorg-server-1.5.2 , just sync, and update world, kde 4.2 now requires xorg-server-1.5 ( it is masked, but working fine for me )
