Bug Description

Binary package hint: kandy

On kubuntu feisty, kandy's entry in the kde menu (found under "Utilities") does not have an icon. In /usr/share/applications/kde/kandy.desktop "kandy" is specified as an icon. The kandy package itself does not ship an icon; the only icon named "kandy" is provided by the kdeartwork-theme-icon package as follows:

$ apt-file search kandy | grep icon
kdeartwork-theme-icon: usr/share/icons/ikons/16x16/apps/kandy.png
kdeartwork-theme-icon: usr/share/icons/ikons/16x16/apps/kandy.png
kdeartwork-theme-icon: usr/share/icons/ikons/32x32/apps/kandy.png
kdeartwork-theme-icon: usr/share/icons/ikons/32x32/apps/kandy.png
kdeartwork-theme-icon: usr/share/icons/ikons/48x48/apps/kandy.png
kdeartwork-theme-icon: usr/share/icons/ikons/48x48/apps/kandy.png

Despite this package being installed, the menu entry for kandy still does not have an icon, so apparently these icon files are either not found or just not used.

Kubuntu feisty, KDE/kandy 3.5.6

The same problem, is still valid on Gutsy Tribe 5. I am assigning that bug to myself, since I'd like to help with it... But I might need some help, may be someone not really to mentor me but to give me some hints...

Just found that copying the (48x48) icon over to /usr/share/pixmaps/ makes it appear on the menu item. Apparently, it is just not found otherwise.

So a possible solution would be to just include a copy of the icon in the kandy package and install it to the above location. Don't know if that's acceptable to the packaging gods though.

    - add kandy-16.xpm in debian/icons/ (probably not necessary but all
      other apps in the package tends to have also a 16x16 icon)

If we will get freeze exception for new kdepim snapshot, this will be included, otherwise we will apply you patch to existing package in gutsy.
