Description mi+kde 2008-06-08 22:07:05 UTC 
Version:           невідома (using 4.0.3 (KDE 4.0.3), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-18-generic

Having upgraded from 3.5.8, I was glad to see the contents of my ~/Desktop still shown on the desktop, even though the content of each file was NOT shown (quite a silly thing to have done, BTW, but, I hear, this is fixed with the upcoming FolderView or something).

However, when I logged out and logged in again, the number of icons on the desktop doubled -- the contents of ~/Desktop was now show twice...

Each subsequent login added the same icons anew... I had to manually edit ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc to get rid of them all and then rename ~/Desktop to ~/Desktop-o

Please, advise.

Why should KDE-4.x be treated any different from Windows Vista?
