Doesn't happen here. This may sound obvious, but are you sure you don't have |
| 9 |
an old revision or even non-portage installation of ksplash-ml or |
| 10 |
ksplash-ml-themes somewhere? |

These themes aren't in the ebuilds. Maybe they aren't in /usr and moving them |
| 17 |
to $KDEDIR would help. |

Happens here too. Works ok if kcontrol is run from a konsole though. That |
| 23 |
means it's a path problem; $KDEDIR comes first in kde environment's path, |
| 24 |
before /usr, and so it probably runs the old ksplash for the preview which of |
| 25 |
course fails. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Which raises again the question of why this is so. startkde currently says, |
| 28 |
PATH=$KDEDIR:$PATH |
| 29 |
It could say: |
| 30 |
PATH=/usr:$KDEDIR:$PATH |
| 31 |
I'll have to consider it. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
What apps other than ksplash could ever exist in both /usr/bin and KDEDIR/bin, |
| 34 |
and would we want the ones in KDEDIR to take precedence? Hard to say without |
| 35 |
any concrete examples, and I can't think of any. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The alternate possibilty is of course to patch ksplash-ml to run the right |
| 38 |
ksplash binary for its preview function (i.e. the one in its install path). |
| 39 |
This would even stand a good chance of being accepted upstream into the |
| 40 |
generic source. Considering that ksplash-ml is likely to be merged into |
| 41 |
kdebase for kde 3.2, replacing the old ksplash, we don't want to change |
| 42 |
startkde just to accomodate it. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Opinions? |
