          Issue ID: 125500
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Program icons missing from KDE launcher menu after
                    install of SuSE desktop integration in KDE4
           Product: Installation
           Version: 4.1.0
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: ui
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: lgrosenthal@2rosenthals.com

The subject of this bug might need some tweaking.

System is openSUSE 13.1 x64, KDE 4.11.5, installed from:

patterns-openSUSE-kde4_basis-13.1-13.6.1.x86_64

Uninstalled LibreOffice via zypper:

zypper remove libreoffice*

Installed OpenOffice 4.1.1 from:

Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.1_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz

via:

dp45sg:/tmp # cd en-US/RPMS/
dp45sg:/tmp/en-US/RPMS # zypper in ./*
[...]
dp45sg:/tmp/en-US/RPMS # zypper in
desktop-integration/openoffice4.1.1-suse-menus-4.1.1-9775.noarch.rpm

Result:

>From the classic KDE kicker, accessing the Office sub-menu, all OpenOffice
components are listed, but with default (no) icons.

Workaround:

Right-click kicker | Edit applications...
Select each application in turn, click the icon, select Other icon, browse to
/opt/kde3/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/ and select the appropriate icon for
each.

[Issue 125500] Program icons missing from KDE launcher menu after install of SuSE desktop integration in KDE4

Thanks for the tip, Kay, and agreed: installing the freedesktop integrations
package works flawlessly on kde4.

Someone with the proper privs might rename this as an RFE to rename the old
SUSE integrations and either rename the freedesktop package to indicate that it
is compatible with kde4 (in multiple distros) or perhaps provide some symlinks
for various distros (not sure of all of the possible combinations). Clearly,
though, I would not have even thought of using the freedesktop package (I
didn't even know to what "freedesktop" was referring) until I actually
researched it.

Thanks again.

The opensuse desktop integration is very old, and should probably be removed
altogether. As you discovered, the icons are installed in kde3 locations, and
do not apply to kde4.

The easiest fix to the problem is to deinstall the opensuse desktop integration
and to install the freedesktop integration. This works flawlessly.
