lost my trash icon [solved]

[kristi]

A. I am so stone age! - course I was using auto logon and I didn't have the mod from AussieJohn to display all of my users including root as options at logon time. I had been rebooting, just to reload a user. :woops:

 

B. I had assumed early on, for this install, that I had set up my root konqueror to view hidden files - something I always do. :woops:

 

C. Ian, wastebin didn't work. But note the contents of trash.desktop below.....

 

D. coverup, your suggestion to create a new user held the key. When I logged in to this user, there was trash, so I fired up a root konqueror and looked in Desktop. I found:

.directory

Home.desktop

System.desktop

trash.desktop

Welcome.desktop

 

.directory contained (arctic, when I cleared Desktop (with a correctly set up konqueror) this was all I got)

[Desktop Entry]

Home.desktop contained

Welcome.desktop contains

(by this time I was tired of this and didn't care!!!)

 

So I just did a select all and copied it on top of what I had in Desktop for the kristi user.

 

Voila!!!

 

 

to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
