Description David 2008-02-19 23:10:27 UTC 
Version:           svn (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

Suggestion for plasma items: when you "close" a plasmoid which has a file in Desktop folder, it should delete also that file (or ask for its deletion) because when you restart you will see that plasmoid again. For example, I installed some windows application with wine, and it created a .lnk file in Desktop. But the X icon does not delete that file. So my suggestion would be an option to also delete the file if exists, a dialog for example.

With 4.1 just around the corner, it's time to close off 4.0 bugs. With the folder view applet, I'm pretty sure this request is covered entirely by bug 155057. Please reopen if I'm missing something.
