Re: [opensuse] No icons, distorted fonts

I have again the same problem: my desktop is almost white, I can
see text but the background picture and all icons are gone. I have
created another account, all seemed normal, I have started to transfer
files into my new account, but after several hours this new account
has the same problems as the old one. Also, when I start firefox I get
a white window, so that it becomes unusable.
I have deleted .kde and .kde4 dirs, I have also tried to repair my
system with the installation DVD, but with no result.
Has anyone already experienced this behaviour? Can you give some
hints how to solve this issue without installing from scratch the
system?

Hi Pete
Yes, it is related to something in my home dir. When I am logged as root all
seems normal.

I don't know what happens, but now, when I start the system, I have
lost all icons (I can see the task bar, but no visible buttons, as for
example the K Menu). Same phenomenon when I use an application (KMail),
the buttons from the toolbar are not visible. When I start a terminal,
the fonts in terminal are distorted, but not the fonts which are
displayed in the window border. I have not updated my system, nor
installed something else, all happens suddenly with no apparent reason.

Hi Bogdan

Do you get the same problem if you log in as a different user? Just
checking to see if this is related to something in your home directory.

I don't suppose you have a recent bakup of the .kde directory to compare
the current one with? Otherwise we'd have to compare application data
for the affected applications with a 'good' version in a different
user's .kde directory.

Cheers

Pete
