KDE Issue [UNSOLVED, but FORGOTTEN]

dedeaux · 2009-02-14 07:31:19

I am new to Archlinux, and have recently installed a system.

I used KDE 4.2 and not KDEMOD as my desktop.

So far, everything is going pretty well as I install things little by little.

However, I have an issue with the tray in KDE. At first I thought it was a pager, but then noticed the functioning pager on left side of th panel. Seems there is a section for the icons for applets or whatever on the right side of the panel, but they don't have any icons, just a blue square for each icon. I can right click on the icons and get the options for the applets which are Strigi, Klipper, KMix, and KOrganizer reminder Daemon.

Anyone else have this problem?

The other things on the tray work fine, so far.

More info, please. Video card? Driver you're using? Version?

I have a Lenovo t400 and am using the internal intel 4500HD graphics

I don't know how to tell what version of the drivers I am using -- but I have not done anything but use whatever comes with Arch's normal repositories. I am not using anything from testing as far as I know.

64bit install.

I had this issue, it appears there is a conflict between RGB and ARGB colors over the taskbar.

Thanks for the help folks.

Looks like it will be waiting time for me, again.

I really want to play around with Arch someday, just no time right now. I will stick to Mint which has worked out of the box without any fiddling.

I appreciate the time you put into posting help for my situation.

KDE really looks promising to me. Maybe in the future it'll be ready.

It's getting better.
