Moin, within a kde 4.9.5, ubuntu ppa source, this issue comes up to me. Within the dir/file plasmoid, which I am using for my Desktop, icons of customized programs are not shown, instead there is only the standard gear icon shown. i.E. This Applicaion Eclipse.desktop file does not show an Icon. ----- [Desktop Entry] Comment[de]=Eclipse Java Entwicklung Comment=Eclipse Java Entwicklung Exec=/home/jojo/eclipse/eclipse GenericName[de]=Eclipse Java Entwicklung GenericName=Eclipse Java Entwicklung Icon=/home/jojo/eclipse/icon.xpm MimeType= Name[de]=Eclipse Name=Eclipse Path=/home/jojo/eclipse/ StartupNotify=true Terminal=false TerminalOptions= Type=Application X-DBUS-ServiceName= X-DBUS-StartupType= X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false X-KDE-Username= ------------- If this Icon/Programmstarter is drawn to the background, the icon is shown. If I copy the Eclipse.desktop file to my notebook, it ist correctly shown. @same KDE Version. The difference between my Work PC and my Notebook is, that the notebook has only local filessytems. (/home on /dev/sda5, btrfs). But the workstation PC has mounted the /home filesystem from the server, like server:/home. So, I think there may be a bug, which disables correct icon display, if $HOME is mounted via NFS. Anybody out there, who may have the same effect seen? Idea, how to fix it?
