Bug#643656: icons not showing up - empty XDG_DATA_DIRS



I tried moving kde to .kde-old, and logging in again but that didn't help.

I finally tracked down the problem: XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable was empty which caused a number of applications to not function correctly in KDE
(pidgin not finding its icons, openbox not findings the themes, etc.).
I removed /var/cache/desktop-profiles/activated-profiles, and run update-profile-cache as root.

Now when I login all the icons show up in the tray as they are supposed to, because XDG_DATA_DIRS is no longer empty!

Best regards,
--Edwin
