Yep. Several times. I have even upgraded to the new Stable CSSU which requires a reboot.

Maybe some people are having these issues because they have had QML-browser installed for a long time.
I have had QML-browser install since initial release.

One thing I nearly forgot. Not hat it bothers me, it's just a curiosity. With multiple browser windows open, when I close one, I sometimes get this effect:

Attachment 35708

Maximizing and re-minimizing the window repaints it correctly.

I've rebooted multiple times and the blue icon is still there. But when I add it as a shortcut on the home screen, it's the globe.

I get that transparent window effect too. If there are multiple QML Browser windows, they get transparent too.

Could you paste the result of:
Code:

cat /usr/share/applications/hildon/qml-browser.desktop
Mine says:
Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=QML Browser
Exec=/opt/qml-browser/bin/qml-browser
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/hildon/general_web.png
X-Window-Icon=
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

Identical result here.

OK, here's an experiment. You need to be root to do it. Open that file in a text editor of your preference and remove the full path and extension from the Icon line, leaving only:
Code:

Icon=general_web
Save the file. In theory you don't need to do anything else. Hildon will refresh the application list, it may look temporarily empty. After the refresh, the globe icon should appear.

btw, the application list did not get emptied.

Hildon looks for a file from the Icon line in certain subfolders in /usr/share/icons. Providing a full path in theory overrides the search and forces a single instance of that file but it apparently did not work in your case. Not sure why: different versions of Hildon libraries?

By providing only the file name without the full path and extension you did nothing else than reverted to the default format, copying what other destop files do.

Also it can be good if QML Browser will be compatible with Tor Status Area Applet.

Feature request: a single-window option. Why?
1. Act as an mobile web page viewer (user agent might be set from command-line parameters)
2. If the only page crashes, the process'll end, so it might be a way to debug those strange crashes more easily.
