nm-applet icon not showing in KDE
hey guys,
I'm running gnome networkmanager with the latest kde. The applet works fine but i can't see the icon.
The icon shows up when i restart networkmanager (/etc/rc.d/networkmanager restart) but when i reboot the icon goes blank.
Here's a screenshot:
The applet is meant to show up on the left of the volume control.
How do i fix this ?
thanks.

Re: nm-applet icon not showing in KDE
Is it hidden in the tray (Click on that little equilateral triangle between the volume display and the time.)
If is in there, I think you can right click it and set it so it always shows. I don't have KDE on my system right now, so I cannot walk through it.

Re: nm-applet icon not showing in KDE
I can click on the space in the system tray (in the image above) so this is definitely a icon rendering issue. The icon isn't hidden - it's invisible
Could this have something to do with were i've put networkmanager in the daemons array ?
DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng dbus netfs networkmanager crond)

Sorry, I'm out then. You might try a different icon theme and see if that helps.

Re: nm-applet icon not showing in KDE
i'm not sure, maybe you need to configure gtk app look with this kcm module https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=55239

Re: nm-applet icon not showing in KDE
Same here. It's an upstream bug with GTK+3 applications, and reported
to upstream: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278131 and
in Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=716358
The problem is that some apps have a larger systray icon than the panel's size, and plasma's systemtray implementation is not always able to resize these icons correctly. You can reproduce this problem with other GTK+3 apps also if you launch them multiple times: empathy, transmission-gtk.
I don't know any solution, is there any idea?
