I think this has something to do with how python gets the default Gtk 
icon set for use in Gtk.IconTheme.get_default().load_icon(). I haven't 
tested this on kde but I've noticed on i3 and awesome that running 
"xfsettingsd && pkill xfsettingsd" is sufficient to get the icons to 
show in qui-domains. But I haven't dug into it to figure out what 
xfsettingsd is doing that sets this, and how it sets it to be persistent 
after killing it. I haven't been able to set anything in 
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini that will get the icons to show up 
automatically.



This also affects the icons in qui-devices for me.


Best,
Daniel

I don't think this issue is KDE-specific. My recollection is that marmarta 
said in one of the qubes-issues threads that the tray widgets are 
triggering a Gtk bug and that workarounds were in progress (or maybe 
already in -testing?).

Last year I partially researched this issue using different widget 
libraries available in python. I was able to consistently reproduce 
either the blank icon or a properly-displayed icon... I will try to dig 
this up later this week.



I'm told that the "Settings" icon in qui-domains menu is oversized.


I don't see any icons at all in qui-domains; just text.



Otherwise seems fine to me, but I don't think I'm representative user.
Custom mens, Activities, Kwin stuff works fine.

Can any other KDE users chip in with problems that they still see?


1. Qubes widgets (but not others, incl. domU widgets) sometimes require 
multiple clicks just to activate them. I think this happens more under 
high system load but not yet sure. Its frequent enough to feel like a 
constant irritant.


2. The pointer input driver that is now used in dom0 isn't optimal. 
Scrolling is much slower, and this slowness is felt more in KDE 
Application Launcher, for example, than the Xfce launcher. (But this 
isn't an issue when using sys-usb for pointer input.) A thread here 
described a workaround...

This matters especially for any PS/2 pointers (like trackpads) which are 
driven by dom0.


3. IIRC screen standby mode doesn't work with lightdm, regardless of the 
DE used. Only KDE + sddm combo gets screen standby working.
