After an update to KDE 4.6.5, there are somethings missing from KDE.

In the two screenshots above, you should be able to see right away what's missing:

- The title bar buttons are missing their symbols
- The tree view in Dolphin is missing the "+" icons
- There is nothing in the checkboxes
- Tabs, checkboxes, and drop down menus have that white around them
- Progress bars don't seem to have a background

I can't seem to track down the issue....

none of those issues here running kde on sid.

Did you check the BTS?

Could it be a graphics driver issue? Nvidia or Ati? Both were broken in sid with the newest Xorg.

I'm using the non-free nVidia drivers.

I've considered it being a graphics issue. Other than the issues show in the pictures, only Firefox has be effected more. Text on open tabs will not redraw, and I end up with overlapping text, and WebMail Notifier addon doesn't seem to notify anymore.

Other than that, all of KDE's effects still work, and there doesn't appear to be any graphics curruption.

Oh, and I'm not sure what BTS is...

BTS = Debian bug tracking system : http://www.debian.org/Bugs/

Found the problem. Seems it was the latest Xorg partially broke the nVidia driver.

I've downgraded xserver-xorg-core from 2:1.11.0-1 to 2:1.10.4-1

Thanks for the tip!
