I seem to be having the most annoying icons issue. Just installed mandrake 9.1 on a fresh new hd (new one died on me, so this is a warranty replacement), and installed packages, configured, blah, blah, blah and got my system set up. I'm using KDE 3.1.4 and the korilla v1.3.2 icons and also changed some other default icons in my panel to my desire. When I rebooted (omg, yes I did! Electricity isn't cheap up here ), all the default icons that I had changed (that weren't changed from the korilla set) defaulted back to their original state. Changed the icons and rebooted again and same thing. Now I remember that when I initially installed mdk, my system did this, but somehow, it had stopped and started to play nice.

Is there a setting/config I can check to see why it's doing this?

TIA

Same issue here, specially the trash bin and some kicker icons

I think I have found the solution, although a dirty one ...

Well, I did a fresh install of Mandrake 9.2 on my test box and was having the same problems with the icons in the kicer panel and menu, reverting back to default when ever I rebooted/log out as in 9.1.

So, just out of curiosity's sake, I opened menu editor and thought, why are the icons that I had choosen not avaliable for any of the applications? Then, I decided to hand-select and copy all the icons that keep reverting themselves (which aren't available from the icon selector's four paths) to /usr/share/icons. Selected and changed all the application's icons that were being reverted and saved. And voilla, on next reboot, joy!

There's a new bugfix in the Mandrake Update area called 'popt' that is supposed to fix menu problems I think - maybe it will sort the icons as well.

Yeah, I had upgraded popt and rpm, yet the icons still revert themselves.

9.2 is the buggiest distro I have used so far and by the looks of it, I am finding new bugs/quirks everyday. Like xmms crashing while trying to play .pls and .m3u, then not opening altogether, konqueror not finding java executable and realplayer being stubborn in mozilla and firebird, playing some files while not being recognized by others.

Oh, well , I just hope the people at Mandrake get it together when 10.0 is released.

:edit: Disregard the snipes about java and realplayer...forgot to make the necessary symlinks to the plugins. Doh!

I'm a new Linux user, and I'm also having trouble with icons on my KDE bar randomly reverting to their defaults. It happens every third or fourth start-up.

Does anyone know if this problem has been fixed?

maybe this..

run
menudrake
click save

see if it works

"run
menudrake
click save"

I'm not sure what that's supposed to accomplish, I do that every time I install a new program.

The problem is that Mandrake randomly reverts my KDE-bar (kicker?) icons to their defaults every second or third boot-up. Like, what the heck? Is there some weird command that does that somewhere?

Just wondering if this bug has been fixed, since supposedly Linux distros "fix bugs faster than Windows does" and so on.
