 |

After the upgrade to KDE 4.7, shadows of menu and tooltip not longer working.
This is a screenshot:

I have another system with gentoo/kde but that work correctly. The only difference is the graphic card: nvidia's system is working (binary driver), ati not (open driver).
Any suggestion?
Thanks

I also began having issues when I upgraded from KDE 4.6.x to 4.7.x. Unfortunately the most annoying issue is still present in 4.8.x. However, I was able to fix at least one of the issues, and you may try what I did. Open a terminal and make sure you are in your home directory.
cd ~/
Then copy move your ~/.kde4 profile directory to another place. Don't delete it. You want to have a backup of your data/settings.
mv .kde4/ .kde4.backup/
Then reboot or at least restart KDE. Your .kde4/ profile directory should automatically be regenerated when KDE restarts. This can sometimes fix issues that are caused by incorrect settings. And judging by the frequency of issues people had when upgrading from KDE 4.6.x to 4.7.x, it seems that there may have been some changes in the settings files between releases.
If your problem has been fixed, then if you had any settings or data you want to keep from your old .kde4.backup/ directory, then copy that information into its appropriate place in the new .kde4/ directory. If your problem has not been fixed, then 'rm -r .kde4/' and then move your backup to it's original location 'mv .kde4.backup/ .kde4/'
Of course you can use the GUI to make/restore backups if you prefer. I hope this helps! |
