it defaults to the desktop folder only when used as a containment. we can't change the description at this point due to being in a string freeze. I do not have it loaded as a containment, it is a widget inside the standard desktop containment. What is your setting in System Settings | About Me | Paths | Desktop path? Its ~/Desktop Can you attach your plasma-appletsrc file file from your $KDEHOME for your current user please. I suppose you double-checked on a new user as well and what kdebase revision number are you using please? Created attachment 29295 [details]
plasma-appletsrc
Here is the plasma-appletsrc file. I haven't tried with a different user yet, but Ill have a go tomorrow.
I get the same problem with another user, I am using revision 896464. I cannot reproduce. When I rm plasma-appletsrc and I start plasma I get desktop:/ in folderview and not $HOME can you take a pic of your default desktop as the new user? Do you install kde svn trunk manually from KDE repository or using a distribution? Created attachment 29298 [details]

This shows 2 folderviews, the first one is the default one which lists Desktop, but the newly added one at the bottom shows Home.
OK so in fact you at least explain your bug!!! I'm glad we insisted so now we can understand the problem. I do wonder why you did not mention it was the SECOND folderview the problem! Aaron, what should the behavior be for added folderviews in Desktop containment? Always desktop:/ shown? "Aaron, what should the behavior be for added folderviews in Desktop containment? Always desktop:/ shown?" default to $HOME; desktop:/ is only used as a backwards compatibility compromise, namely in the case of the default folderview on first set up and when used as the Activity type. SVN commit 897438 by asouza: Make the correct check about the desktop folder considering the "About me" setting and checking if the folder exists. Also makes the applet default to $HOME when it's not a containment. The config dialog shows only possible actions, so it will not show the desktop radio button if the desktop folder doesnt exist. For 4.3 we need to change the description of the applet, explaining that it will default to $HOME and not Desktop.
