Is this a problem?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Is this a problem? Not really functionally since they both display the same content, but it is odd to end up with a file path which a normal user would never normally navigate to. It does also not allow the same kind of navigation to parent directories. The observation is indeed a minor one. If you consider this to be too insignificant, then I am in no position to question that. :^)
Is it an implementation detail, whose history is either fascinating, mundane, or infuriating, depending on your perspective. :) Long term, we can probably remove the desktop:// ioslave, as its reason for existing has become tenuous at best. I have started a discussion about that over here: https://phabricator.kde.org/T14361
