Bug 326233 – Upgrading to KDE 4.4.4 kills amarok 2.3.1-r1 tray icon

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Quasimodo 2010-06-29 22:21:55 UTC]

After upgrading to kde 4.4.4 amaroks tray icon disappered. Instead there is an icon with a question mark, which seems to be an error icon.

I had a working amarok 2.3.1-r1 prior update. I had to add semantic-desktop to my USE flags for kdepim, so I added them globally, which resulted in a recompile of amarok.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Gnome Desktop with kde 4.3.5, amarok 2.3.1-r1 and kdepim
2. Upgrade to KDE .4.4.4
3.

This is probably caused by an upgrade of libpng I didn't noticed before. Recompiling 62 packages...

Likely indeed... :) Please just reopen the bug if the problem persists.

After rebuilding all the broken packages my revdep-rebuild is now clean. Sadly enough, the problem persists even after rebuilding amarok again and a restart.
Also, on my secondary system I have the same problem despite it is x86, where there is no update of libpng yet.

Try the following:
- open terminal
- kquitapp plasma-desktop (will terminate plasma)
- rm -fr /var/tmp/kdecache-${USER}/kpc (will remove icon cache)
- plasma-desktop (will start plasma again)

You will most likley have to do it after every KDE upgrade as KDE has broken icon cache invalidation mechanism and upstream frankly doesn't care.

Nice idea but obviously not a solution to my problem because my temp directories are all on an tmpfs so there will be no cache after reboot. Also, I don't use kdw as a desktop (I'm using gnome) so there is no plasma-desktop running.

In that case I'm closing this bug as a dupe of bug 325371
