Hi everyone,
I am 6 days into using Kubuntu 11.04 as my main o/s and so far so good!
Kudos to the developers for 'integration and consistency' all-round.

I've been bitten by the plasmoid bug and found a simple example of display-image code in a magazine.
All this is designed to do is display an svg image on the desk.
I've managed to create the plasmoid and package it, but when I run it however, it's minus the image! So celebrations are currently on hold!
Can anyone assist in resolving this?
cheers

Can you please post the code in question (including build system)?

I suspect that either a layout is not being set...

Thank you for your assistance...

You have to put every image under contents/images/

Regards Jonathan

Thank you bulldog98 but that's what I have done.

Update: It seem that the image I was using was perhaps corrupted?
A substitute image now is working!
Let the cheering begin

Thanks for the help everyone
