RE: kde 3.0 no icons

["Harold Hunt" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Manohar,

I just logged into KDE3 via one of the computers in our campus labs today
(running 4.1.99 which is either some unknown test release or 4.1.0) and saw
the problem that you mentioned.  I noticed that two desktop icons show up
(one was the "Internet" icon for Konq) but no bottom-bar buttons showed up.

I'm not sure what causes the problem but at least now I have some sort of
test environment.
