LibreOffice usually separates out the desktop stuff into a subdirectory called "desktop-integration" where you should (maybe) find an RPM/DEB/ETC that installs the XDG/FreeDesktop bits needed to do this. (this includes all the Icons, MIME mappings, etc), so would be preferred over manually adding Kickoff entries, if you can avoid that. Additionally, you might need to: kbuildsycoca4 (or) kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental and/or logout/login again as i've been only partially successful at times in getting the icons to showup in the current session. Debian Wheezy/KDE 4.8.4 seems even worse about not giving me proper icon imagery until a logout/login cycle :-( We have an NFS shared /usr/local/share/applications here where a firefox.desktop is used. In Firefox 21, the icon changed location, and 'kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental' does NOT load the new icon in Kickoff (shows blank) until a complete recycle. I dunno if plasma-desktop/kickoff (whatever) is supposed to periodically poll or inotify() watch its path elements for changes, but it's definitely not helping me out. --stephen ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
