Can reproduce.

It's still in the ~/Desktop folder, but it does disappear from Folder View.

Restarting Plasma makes it reappear

Seems that when creating a link on desktop, the file path in `~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc` for the link files is *both* `file:///home/akseli/Desktop/aaaaaaaaa` and `desktop:/aaaaaaaaa`. There should be only one item created, which is `desktop:/aaaaaaaaa`

Meanwhile that is a bug, it's not the culprit for this one.

in `kcoredirlister.cpp` we ask from the item if it exists. However, it fails to 

```cpp
    if (!d->m_bInitCalled) {
        qCWarning(KIO_CORE) << "KFileItem: exists called when not initialised" << d->m_url;
        return false;
    }
```

Thus we don't show the file. Changing properties of the file from desktop does not initialize the file again for some reason.

Backtrace from where the warning happens about not being initialised item:
