Description of problem: After correcting the symbolic link of /etc/localtime (due to bug 14888 it started with /mnt/usr/... ) the KDE desktop is at least partially missing its theme. For example when dragging a box on the desktop to select several icons it normally draws a nice transparent blue box. After fixing the /etc/localtime link and logging into the desktop again the box is now old-school X11-like, just an outline box with a dotted black and white draw pattern. Also the menus suddenly have a rectangular outline in contrast to the rounded box corners before with the proper theme. There are several other buttons and (Qt?) GUI elements that look suddenly "wrong". When setting the /etc/localtime link back to point to an invalid location and logging into the desktop again, the proper (nice) KDE theme is back. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): x86_64, installation with MGA 5, beta 3, updated to current cauldron. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. log into KDE with broken /etc/localtime link, draw a selection box on the desktop => nice, blue transparent box 2. correct /etc/localtime (in my case to Europe/Berlin - in case it's this specific timezone that is triggering the bug) 3. log out and back in, draw a selection box on the desktop => old-school X11 non-filled box outline in black and white dotted style. (4. you can now set the /etc/localtime link back to some invalid location and repeat the cycle) Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Component: Release (media or process) => RPM Packages
Ehem ... I cannot reproduce it anymore. This issue bugged me for the last days and in the moment of complaining to the bug tracker it apparently decided to disappear. I can now set /etc/localhost to the correct timezone file and the KDE theme remains fine. Please excuse the noise - it must have been a freak phenomenon, sorry. :-/
