That was a wash. :( Same result.
Next I tried changing the various links to point to
libpng12. ldd
showed that kate built with libpng12 and
libpng14, but
once again, no
icons in the kate toolbars.
Only kate is affected by this. No other app.
I noticed every time I start kate that something
deletes the user's
kateui.rc file, which would partially explain the
lack
of icons,
although kate should revert to the default
kateui.rc
file.
I suppose next I'll try deleting all libpng14 files.
Listening for ideas....
Did you try setting PNG_CFLAGS / PNG_LIBS or using sed,
as
the message
I quoted suggests ? I think sed would definitely prevent
kate from
using libpng14 (or libpng12 if you want to force the use of
libpng14).
But I'm not sure the libpng versions are really the
problem, since you
said that without using kdesu there is no issue. Did you
try running
Kate both with commandline sudo, su and su - ? If the
results are not
the same, there are problems with environment variables.

I don't see any such flags such as PNG_CFLAGS / PNG_LIBS. I also never have seen a
separate build script for kate. The only place to set build flags is when building
kdebase.
I doubt the problem is related to kdesu ore nvironment variables. As I wrote previously, I
see the problem only with kate and not with any other app started through kdesu.
As I wrote previously, same problem with running from the command line. That is where I
see the error messages about the two different libpng versions.
I'm going to rebuild all packages with only one version of libpng installed. That will
eliminate that variable as a cause. That is not a smooth solution because many distros
install both versions of libpng. Trinity will have to address this problem sooner or
later.
