moon picture is stretched on the KDE4 logout dialog

[ronny]

I just installed Kubuntu-8.10 final version. If I log out KDE presents a dialog with a very flat moon (see attached screenshot). AFAIK the moon is still approximately a sphere. ;-)

Thank you for your bug report. So that we can better understand your report, please produce a mockup of what might improve the image to look more spherical.

[ronny (ronny-standtke)]

I just fired up GIMP and draw a perfect circle around the moon. Maybe now you notice that according to the KDE logout dialog the moon is quite elliptical.

[Anthony Noto (angusthefuzz)]

Sorry for the misunderstanding. The moon icon does look very elliptical. I am marking this bug confirmed. Can you please post your monitor size and resolution. Thank you.

[ronny (ronny-standtke)]

Here is the spec of my monitor:

I am using it with the native resolution of 1600x1200

I am also experiencing this on two different computers using Kubuntu 8.10. One is a 1280x1024 res screen, and the other is 1920x1200 in a laptop.

Fix committed for KDE 4.2 RC1

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Fix released to Jaunty.

I'm still experiencing this with jaunty ... Install just from week ago and currently upto date.
The res I use is 1280x800

Little hint: if I log in as root, the bug happens.
BUT, if I press CTRL-ALT-CANC (only as root) the shutdown dialog works perfectly...

Maybe it's not a bug, but a different personalization... I'd love to be able to find out I'm right!

[ronny (ronny-standtke)]

This is not fixed. I still see this bug with Kubuntu 9-04 beta.

[Mauro (jasmines)]

Test this for me: enable all desktop effects. Are you still experiencing the bug?

[ronny (ronny-standtke)]

Unfortunately, I can not enable all desktop effects. I only get the following error message:
"Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Settings will be reverted to their previous values. Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advanced options, especially changing the compositing type."

[Mauro (jasmines)]

mmm... I see... Do you use compiz or kwin? (If Compiz, switch to kwin and try to enable desktop effects).
Then, I suggest to try including this part in your xorg.conf:

Section "Extensions"
 Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

A fix has hopefully really been committed for KDE 4.3 beta2.

Hello. In my other bug report which was a dup of this (honestly I did search before filing a new bug) I have requested specifically the following:

It is (also) fixed in Koala, but I would like the fix to be backported to Jaunty.

So please can you see if this can be done? Thank you.
