Evolution Icons missing when run under kde

Hello all:

Can't really find a solution for this while searching so thought I would post.  When I start evolution under KDE, just about every icon(folders, symbols, etc) is replaced with a box with a red X in the middle.  Obviously, it cannot find the icons to use.  How can I fix this?

Thanks,

-FS

Re: Evolution Icons missing when run under kde

When you run gnome-session as your desktop manager, it automatically loads the settings controller that handles icons and the like.  When you launch anything else (such as your kde or my fluxbox) you have to load that settings manager manually.

Stick this in your .xinitrc just before you launch kde:
gnome-settings-daemon &

That should fix ya right up.
