some icons are wrong in KDE

[Dave Johnson]

Working great under KDE 4.6 except for some of the icons.

the star icon that is normally displayed on the album art after a song is "loved" is instead shows as an information icon (see screenshot in comments). Also, under the drop-down menu the "website" and "manage stations" icons are just a blue book with a question mark on them (unable to screenshot).

I don't personally care, but others may be annoyed.

Kubuntu 11.04 x64
KDE 4.6
Pithos 0.3.9

I am also experiencing the same issue on Kubutnu x64 with Pithos 0.3.9

I think this may have the same root cause as #627218. They are slightly different, but since they only happen in KDE, I'm guessing they're connected.

Ok, I found that the libappindicator icon doesn't show the right icons in KDE, so I made a copy of the plugin that doesn't use indicators but just the Gtk status icon. This also lets left-clicking the icon send a signal to show/hide the window.

I'm not sure about the question mark icons in the main window's settings menu, so I'm splitting the bugs.

Oh, and the code is in lp:~launchpad-alphapapa/pithos/888778. I can split it up from the 888788-specific code later if necessary.

I discovered that some of these Gtk stock icons are not in default Gnome packages, like gtk-index and gtk-edit.

Compared to:

For folks using KDE instead of Gnome, it seems that the full range of Gtk stock icons is not contained in a base-level, common Gtk package. I don't understand why the full range of stock icons defined in the Gtk docs is not in the standard Gtk packages.

Anyway, we need to either decide on more commonly-installed icons, or just use no icons. I'm in favor of no icons, myself.
