Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I used krandrtray to resize my desktop from 1600x1200 to 1024x768 while I had two DVDs in the drives and their icons on the desktop. -> The icons disappeared. Resizing back to original size after a while, the icons didn't reappear. Permanent icons on desktop (only tested with one folder) do not exhibit this behaviour.
I very much doubt this is ever going to get fixed. KDE 3 is unmaintained now.
