Looks like the problem with kandy is only the "iKon" theme provides an icon for kandy. At least that is what I see when I search for kandy.png in the entire package set. The kandy.desktop does specify Icon=kandy, but when the icon theme does not provide an image then the system defaults to the "empty" icon or none at all, which seems to be the case for the menu.

The desktop file for Abakus specifies Icon=abakus. Thus again the problem is the various icon themes not supplying an icon.

Considering that some of the apps we inherited, er, adopted, are fringe third party apps, the lack of an icon for such apps is not surprising. I would have expected icons in all of the icon themes for kandy because that app is part of the original kdepim. Then again, just the other day I pushed some "go" icons for crystalsvg icon set for the Standard splash screen image because none previously existed.

I suppose these things happen with a project this large. Let's fix them as we find them and provide that final polish. :)

We need a list of the icon themes provided by Trinity and then note which themes are missing certain icons. From there I don't know how to match the overall theme of the icon set. I was lucky with the missing "go" icon for crystalsvg because the icon was the same as the menu icon. We can take the existing iKon kandy icon as a starter, but somebody with art skills should help so we get the new icons to match the theme.

We could throw something into etherpad.
