Version: 4.2.3 (using KDE 4.2.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Under KDE 3.5.10, a desktop icon/symlink might refer to: /home/reagle/_joseph/rawdog/rawdog.html This is the actual path in the address window, and the HTML may contain relative references (e.g., to a CSS file, or links). In KDE 4 folderview the URL shown is not so kind (referring to Desktop).
i have no idea what is meant by "URL shown is not so kind". perhaps you could offer what is actually shown or what actually happens versus what you actually expected. screenshots might be helpful. this report is undecipherable as it currently sits, however, and will be closed as invalid unless updated with further information.

As you can see in the attached screenshot, a web page (rawdog.html) that is opened from the Desktop folderview widget using has a path in the Konqueror address bar using the Desktop path: /home/reagle/Desktop/rawdog.html not its true source. /home/reagle/_joseph/rawdog/rawdog.html Therefore, relative links (including CSS) within that HTML are broken. I recently migrated to KDE4 on a daily basis because I can now happily have proper desktop icons with correct relative links when opened and don't use folderview+Desktop.
2 things: i think you forgot to attach the screenshot second. try to set folderview to the desktop folder manual, you can specify the path to the folder that folderview shows. what happens if you set that and don't use the option "show desktop".
1. I attached screenshots to the email, but apparently they didn't make it into bugs.kde.org . 2. Specifying the folder as "/home/reagle/Desktop" rather than opting for "Show the Desktop" does not help. Konqueror still opens any links to HTML files as being in the Desktop directory, breaking relative links.
Created attachment 38899 [details] Example of relative URL
I couldn't reproduce with latest trunk, you should try with 4.4 RC1
closing as needsinfo, please retest with kde 4.4, thank you
Closing for lack of feedback.
