Description Christian Janoff 2020-11-15 10:33:27 UTC 
SUMMARY

Trying to change icon sizes in system settings doesn't actually change the icon sizes. Right-clicking on the desktop does.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open "System Settings"
2. go to "Icons"
3. select "Configure Icon Sizes"
4. change the setting for "Desktop"

5. right-click on the desktop
6. select "Icons"->"Icon Size" and choose a different icon size

OBSERVED RESULT

- after step 4 all desktop icons still have the same size
- after step 6 the desktop icons change the size immediately

EXPECTED RESULT

- setting "Configure Icon Sizes" has immediate effect

[kcms/icons] Don't offer to set desktop icon size

This is confusing since desktop icon sizes are set directly in the
desktop containment config window, and changing the desktop icon size in
this KCM has no visible effect at all. Let's not show it at all.
