supplementary gnome upgrades break icons

The most recent round of supplementary gnome upgrades (gtk2-2.8.0-3
gtk2-engines-2.6.4-9, gtk-engines-0.12-965 etc) breaks icons in KDE
menus for Gnome applications.

The last supplementary update for KDE 3.4.2 (Kdelibs3-3.4.2-15) has the
same effect in KDE. That is the reason why I decided to downgrade to 3.4.0.
Did you updated KDE at the same time?

I installed the supplementary KDE (kdelibs3-3.4.2-1 etc) and GNOME
(gtk2-2.8.0-3) upgrades at the same time. You make a good point that it
could be the KDE upgrade that causes Gnome applications' icons to be
gone. Anyway, this problem is not enough to make me downgrade. I assume
it will be fixed in the next round of upgrades. Besides, I think I see
improvements in speed.

I am sure that its is kdelibs3-3.4.2-15. I updated only this package.
Then I updated again only kdelibs3 after the downgrade to KDE 3.4.0 and
the bug was there again. Finally, I compliled kdelibs3-3.4.2-15 from source
and the result was the same. I will upgrade again to KDE 3.4.2 when a new
version of the package is released.

Yes, what I see now is that some symbolic links might be missing from
/opt/kde3/share/icons/crystalsvg/:

gnome1 -> ../../../../gnome/share/pixmaps
gnome2 -> ../../../../gnome/share/pixmaps
gnomeCrystal -> ../../../../gnome/share/icons/GnomeCrystal
gnomePixmaps -> ../../../../gnome/share/pixmaps

At least, I see these links on another machine with an older version of
kdelibs3.

Also, gnome2-SuSE-10.0-7 needs to be installed to get
/opt/gnome/share/icons/GnomeCrystal.

However, even after adding the symbolic links by hand and installing
gnome2-Suse, I'm still missing icons. Maybe I'm missing a step. I don't
really understand how the Gnome and KDE stuff is supposed to get
integrated into the menu.

I am again using KDE 3.4.2. I fixed the problem downgrading
kdelibs3-3.4.2-15 to kdelibs3-3.4.2-3. No conflicts with the other updates.
You can find it here if you want to test it:

It worked for me too! Thank you!

Over at the opensuse.org.suse-linux.support.kde there is a thread "KDE
3.4.2 \"b\" Icon links lost" which discusses this. I suggest we close
this thread and continue the discussion there.

Somebody posted a reference to yet another forum where there is a
solution other than downgrading to kdelibs3-3.4.2-3:

By the way,it seems to work.
