KDE: no icons in ccsm

[onelastwish]

hey everyone,

i'm running kde 3.5.7 on slackware 12.0. compiz-fusion works great, the only thing is that there's no icons in ccsm.

i've found other solutions to this problem around the internet but i haven't been able to get any of them to work.

everyone says to install librsvg2. so i download the source, compile it, and install it. the only thing is that it shows up as just librsvg, without the 2. is that something different? i'm getting really confused by this.

another website said i needed librsvg2-2, librsvg2-bin, and ibrsvg2-common. i already have all that stuff, but once again, i'm not sure about the whole thing with the 2 at the end.

any help would be greatly appreciated. compiz-fusion is great, it would just be awesome to get these icons to work.

just librsvg-common (without the '2') should do it. End please enable svg support in CCSM, though I'm not sure whether that helps.

do you think you could direct me where to find this and possibly how to install it in slackware?

i'm having difficulty finding it with google, and i think my problem from before might've been that i'm installing it incorrectly.

i've been using linux for about 5 days now. i'm pretty confident that i know how to use it though, but i just want to make sure that i do everything correctly.

thanks,
eric

also, i did have the icons working at one time, and that is when i had gnome installed. starting into gnome didn't work at all though so i just got rid of it.

there's a package called compiz-manager that comes with the slackware version of gnome. is that package necessary? because i did not find anything about it when looking through slackware specific install instructions of compiz-fusion.

thanks

update:

so i uninstalled librsvg to get a fresh start, but then the icon for fusion-icon down in the system tray didn't load.

reinstalling librsvg brought the icon back.

that makes me think that librsvg is working fine and that something else is wrong.

do you agree?

I'm not sure about slackware (I'm into kubuntu to be honest), but the packages are available within the default ubiuntu-repositories. All it took me was sudo apt-get install librsvg-common
With slackware, things might be more complicated.
