no menu icons in lxpanel

Hi,

I just installed ubuntu 9.10, and I am using its lxpanel (version 0.5.3), together with lxmenu-data (version 0.1.1) and libmenu-cache0 (0.2.5). I am also using openbox as my wm.

I am *not* using lxsession or any other component of lxde. They are not even installed. I am using gnome-setting-daemon instead.

The problem is that I don't see any menu icons. I see the menu entries, and when I press them they launch the application -- but for some reason there are no icons.

I tried deleting .cache/menu, and starting from a fresh lxpanel config file, and also reinstalling everything -- but it is all in vain.

Can it be that lxpanel is no longer an independent package, and that it needs lxsession, or some other component ?

I am asking this because when I installed the complete LXDE desktop, it was OK.

BTW, in my previous ubuntu, 8.10, the very same configuration just worked fine.


Thanks,
Itai.

Turned out the gnome-setting-daemon is responsible for it. If I disable it, the icons re-appear.

A better solution is to go into gnome-control-center -> Appearance -> Interface
and check the "Show icons in menu" option.
