Version: 1.0 (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages 1) System settings -> Personal -> Path 2) Change for example 'Movies path' from default /home/sobi/Movies to /home/sobi/Plocha 3) click Apply button 4) logout 5) open again System settings -> Personal -> Path, paths have again default values, no respect of user's news path 6) The same problem with Documents path, Download path, Pictures path, Music path etc... This is the huge bug. Thanks for fixing it.
Can you please verify that the permissions of ~/.kde4/share/config are correct? All files should be owned by your user and writable.

*** Bug 210650 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The xdg configuration is usually stored in file "user-dirs.dirs" in the $HOME/.config directory, but the path can be changed with the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable.
Do ya still need any of my file content's output to recognize the problem?
Isn't ~/.config GNOME-related? Where should it be the configuration file for KDEv4?
I think this could be related to bug 177474. Valid paths in user-dirs.dirs should be enclosed with quotes ("path"), and it seems that the Paths KCM was not putting them properly... Can you check that ? Thanks
this is my /home/sobi/.config/user-dirs.dirs # This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update # If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're # interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run # Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped # homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an # absolute path. No other format is supported. # XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Plocha" XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Dokumenty" XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Stažené" XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Veřejné" XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Šablony" XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videa" XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Hudba" XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Obrázky"
This bug still make me nervous in kubuntu 9.10 RC and actual KDE 4.3.2
Bug 177474 is going to be fixed on 4.3.3 (or in 4.3.2 if the fix is backported). However your paths are enclosed with "", so I can't be sure it is the same problem...
I have recently encountered this bug as well. Discussion here: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=84247 A workaround suggested by Ben Cooksley, to edit the user-dirs.dirs file outside of KDE, worked for me. At KDM, before login, ctr+alt+f1 to switch to a cmd-line, login, pico user-dirs.dirs and edit your path. After a few restarts and logins the path changes seem to be sticking for me. Thanks, Sak.
The current KCM won't save anything in quotes. Not heard any reports of it being broke since.
