My systems rootfs (includes /home) ran out of free space during the night, so in the next morning I decided to try and use the already running Dolphin file-manager to remedy this situation.

I clicked a NFS share in the Places-panel and immediately ~30 pop-up error message boxes appeared in my task bar.. After I was done closing them all, I noticed that my Places-panel had reset to default settings! This was horrifying to see, as I had spent a lot of time customizing my Places panel to be perfect!

By the time I found out, that 'Places' are stored in '~/.local/share/user-places.xbel', the .bak file was already overwritten by the new default configuration. So I ended up having to restore user-places.xbel from my nightly backups to get my Places back.

Perhaps Dolphin/kio/whatever could handle the "Out of disk space" situation a little more gracefully?

Reproducible: Didn't try
