Ummm... are you sure?

Also,

My guess is you have a local .desktop file referring to a "chromium" icon as in the past chromium-bsu did not have one.

Do you have an entry in ~/.local/share/applications? I can not replicate.

By the way, I'm on amd64, does that make a difference? If not, and you can't replicate this problem I guess you can close it.

x86_64 should not make a difference. I will leave this open for a while to see if anyone else can replicate.

I also should mention that when I go to kmenuedit to change the icon, the Chromium game icon is not there at all. It was before installing the browser. Perhaps it got written over?

What does "pacman -Qk chromium-bsu" give you? Also, make sure you have chromium-bsu-0.9.14.1-1

That command gives me:
chromium-bsu: 121 total files, 0 missing file(s)

From what I can tell I have the latest version.

Update: I set up an Arch VM so that I can play around with settings without changing my default setup. After I installed all my favorite programs (including chromium and chromium-bsu) I had this same exact issue again.

@Andrea,Ronald: Can you try replicating this. Long shot but perhaps it is a KDE issue?

Weird, I can indeed replicate it in KDE when I have both installed. My e17 install is not affected.

Tried using quotes but that does not seem to help either, assuming I don't need to restart my session. OP can you see if there is a related upstream KDE bug report?

Leaving to the KDE guys to sort out then! :)

is this still a problem?

In my new install this hasn't happened, not sure if it's fixed or not. I would close this for now, the next time I reinstall Arch I will open this if I have the problem again.

Just checked my configuration, this does still happen.

I see I asked back in September last year if you have found/filed a report at KDE. That question still stands.

No, I have not filed a bug report with KDE.

Please do so. I don't have time in the near future to go through the ?kdelibs sources to find where they get the menu icons from the desktop files.

Done.

if can help today (one year late) this issue is fixed for me.

checking icon through kupfer launcher, also before and after a login-logout to be sure

for me is fixed
