I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 (not Kubuntu) with KDE 4.9 from the Kubuntu
PPA. Everything worked fine, Then I played around with some widgets
from kde-look.org (but I'm not sure if that's really causing the
problem).
Anyway, I've lost the "icon widget" (don't remember how it's called
exactly). It's just not anymore listed in the list of widgets when I do
"Add Widget" in the panel or desktop, so I can't add simple application
launchers to the panels (or desktop).
Some of the widgets I installed where only available as C++ source and
had to be installed system-wide. I guess I overwrote/replaced the
original icon widget (or anything like that). But reinstalling the
plasma-desktop package didn't help.
So, any idea what's wrong, or how to debug this?
Forgot to mention:
That widget is also lost for other users on my machine, as well as with
the "KDE Plasma Desktop (Abgesicherter Modus)" session. (Abgesicherter
Modus == "Safe Mode" probably, what's that one for, BTW).
So it's probably not a user config related problem.
Thanks for the "affects other users" addendum. That's critical
information. =:^)
I'm not sure of the chances of this working especially since it's
affecting all users, but it's definitely worth a shot. Try running:
kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
Thanks for your reply.
kbuildsycoca4 didn't help. I tried that earlier. But I do have a
suspicion.
Say, *is* there actually an icon/launcher widget/plasmoid that
starts *one* individual program, like .desktop file based icons? Or
do I confuse that with the Quicklauncher?
I suspect that nothing got lost. But I added more icons to the
Quicklauncher and when I later added that one to the desktop/panel I
got confused as I expected a simple program starter.
I just removed all but one icon from it and the result looks exactly
like I had in mind.
Feeling slightly stupid now. :-D
