Version: Version 4.00.84 (KDE 4.0.84 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080625) (using KDE 4.0.83) Installed from: Fedora RPMs Compiler: gcc version 4.3.1 20080624 (Red Hat 4.3.1-3) (GCC) OS: Irix When changing other properties of an application-link on desktop, the link looses its icon. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Start menu 2. Pull "Web Browser - Konqueror" on the desktop -> A new application link named "konqueror" is created on the desktop, with konqueror's icon as icon. 3. Right click on the icon -> "Icon Settings" 4. Go to Tab "Application" and change the name from Konqueror to something else 5. The "updating system config"-dialog appears for a second 6. The link on desktop has lost its icon and now only shows an empty sheet with a question mark. I am not sure if this is really a KDE bug, or a distribution bug caused by bad packaging of e.g. the icon files.
this is a duplicate of one of Maciej's bugs. too tired to look for it right now, but it's already reported.
I think you refer to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164723
no, i think there's another BR in the system about renaming the application or the icon resulting in a blank entry until next start.
got it :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 164507 ***
