Try updating again, and reboot your system.  Also be sure to apply the display manager fix that I posted about in that thread (near the end).

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks for your prompt reply.

When you say "update again", what do you mean?  I tried running adept_manager, clicking Fetch Updates, but nothing came up.

Yes, that is what I meant.  If there are no updates, then apply the display manager fix here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6827022&postcount=326 and reboot.  Some KDE3-specific icons will need to be reconfigured (e.g. the KDM icons may not show up); the reason for this is that the icon locations have changed and KDM, etc. have the full paths in their configuration files.

The /etc/X11/default... thing made it so it boots straight into kdm, though it looks different.

From your post of 12 hours ago I might be inclined to suffer through this until your changes are complete.  But then I need to update everything again and I'm not sure what command to issue for that.

Will a new update come along?

Amarok is still broke.  That's a drag.

All my akregator feeds are empty.  All my korganizer events are gone.  Are they still somewhere, but just in a different directory?  I sure hope so.  I wouldn't think your update would have changed stuff in my home directory.

I just wanted to say thanks for the last three updates.  Most issues are solved.  I still have some missing icons though.  For example in konqueror, when viewing / in list mode, the 'home' and 'media' folders are generic icons, not even folder icons.  I think these have special folder-like icons that seem to be missing.  BTW, before your 3 updates I did do a reinstall of kubuntu-desktop-kde3, so I'm not sure where these icons come from.

If you apply the latest (hopefully final) updates, are your problems solved?

If not, can you try logging in as a newly created user and see if the same bugs exist?

Thanks!

I applied the new release.

The home icon is back, but the media one is still blank.

I logged in as another user and it was the same.

Are the icons in some isolated package that I can re-install?

Do I need to install links?  I know you moved some things around (/opt).

It would be nice to know that everything is correct again, but honestly this is a minor problem.

Can you attach a screenshot of the affected application, with the problem icon marked?  I will then see if the same problem exists on my clean-slate Intrepid test machine, and fix it if it does.

Thanks!

Well, now that I zoom in on it, it seems it is not the generic icon but rather an icon that looks like a hard drive (the small version is practically a plain gray rectangle, the larger one is more clear).  That being the case I think maybe the icon is just different from the old one, not blank, so I feel silly now bothering you with this.

So I think we can close this ticket as I cannot pinpoint any particular problem right now.  If I have any more issues I'll open another one.

Great job!

Hey, do you have a tip jar or something?  It occurs to me how important this KDE3 package is to me as I wait for KDE4 to become useable (if ever).  This seems like a lot of work and I think you deserve support.  (Or maybe I should ask this publically on the forums to drop the hint... :)

Why yes, in fact, I do! :-)  It's on my old home page here: http://www.pearsoncomputing.net/  

It is a lot of work to maintain KDE3.5, but worth it to avoid the Vista/Mac clone called KDE4. ;-)

Again, no big deal, but the problem with the icon is still there.  I just don't see it until a fresh restart (see first picture).  Then after so much as a mouse-over the word "media" (or click), it appears (see second picture).  This is in konqueror in tree-view mode.

Although this problem appeared after your update, I can't help but this it's not your problem.  Who do you think I should report it to?  The konqueror developers?
