Big notification area icons and garbage icons in KDE4 when GTK apps are executed

[Sayak Banerjee]

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 and I have installed kubuntu-kde4-desktop on it.

Big icons:
Running pidgin on KDE4

The white square just towards the left of the laptop ("Recently plugged in devices" widget) is a large pidgin icon (probably, 48x48 instead of the standard 24x24 or 22x22).

Garbage icons:
Execute "bluetooth-applet" in KDE4 (bluetooth-applet is the gnome bluetooth applet) and you will have this:

The above image is the pidgin icon + the bluetooth applet garbage icon. Even after killing the bluetooth-applet process, the icon remains at the notification area.

Fixed in KDE 4.1.

I'm using Ubuntu Intrepid - KDE Version 4.1.2 Fully updated from repository releases.

Downloaded Kubuntu-Desktop from a regular Ubuntu-Desktop release - So I have both gnome and kde side by side.

I have the white icons bug too, sometimes they respond, sometimes they don't. All the gnome icons do it, and right at this moment the Klipper icon is solid white.

That is bug 247393. This was a buig where GTK icons weren't scaled properly for the systray.
