SUMMARY
since plasma 5, I wrote a .desktop file to have the trash bin on my desktop. it was working fine. after upgrading to plasma 6, any time I throw files to the bin, it disappears from my desktop until next reboot or restart of plasma. the .desktop still exists if I navigate to the desktop folder with dolphin.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create a .desktop folder for trash bin on desktop or home folder
2. drag and drop files into it/delete files
3. the .desktop file is gone from the desktop.

OBSERVED RESULT
no matter how many times I make the desktop file, it always happen the same. I also tried making a symlink to the .desktop file but have it placed on my home folder, ending with the same result and behavior.

EXPECTED RESULT
keep the .desktop file or symlink to it on my desktop.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
Arch Linux

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
the data used to create the .desktop for the Trash on the desktop is the following:

[Desktop Entry]

Icon=trash-full

OnlyShowIn=KDE;

URL[$e]=trash:/

if you make the .desktop on any other location and symlink it to the desktop, it will end with the same results.

I have the exact same issue. A link to trash on desktop is present after reboot but after a while disappears.
