Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 3.3.6 OS: Linux I hope it's just my installation, else this is a critical bug. The desktop items don't show their icon anymore, instead they show a plain text file preview of the *.desktop file. I have kdelibs 3.5 branch from 11 November (rev. 479825) and kdebase 3.5 branch from 12 November (rev. 480038).
