Version: unknown (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), Gentoo) Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.25-gentoo-r7-20080501 When I switch the default KDE 4.2 file view plasmoid to a non-Desktop folder and then switch the target back to "Show the Desktop folder", it seems to ignore the setting in favor of the prior choice.
Here using: Qt: 4.5.0 + qt-copy-patches-942255 KDE: 4.2.70 (KDE 4.2.70 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090415)) kdelibs svn rev. 958964 / kdebase svn rev. 958965 on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.29.1 I can't reproduce this bug
works for me as well... many of these sorts of bugs have been squashed since 4.2.0 in folderview.
