KDE apps have no icons when using XFCE

English Applications

Hi everyone.

I use XFCE as my desktop. Sometimes I need KDE apps, like Kile in this example. Before 42.1, there was no problem with this.
Now all icons are missing (including button icons). This makes the app barely usable.

I managed to find only one proposed solution to this problem:

gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons true
gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons true

I tried this but it didn’t help.

I checked the list of RPM files, and the icons seem to be present at

/usr/share/kde4/apps/kile/icons

. So looks like Kile just can’t find and load them.

My hwinfo is here. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Make sure oxygen5-icon-theme is installed.
That’s KDE4’s default icon theme, and KDE4 applications might rely on its icons being available.

Thanks a lot, everything works now.
