linux_trojan Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I just installed Mandriva 2009 and am using KDE. I tried to copy some files to my desktop and cant see any icons. It reminds me of how ICE WM looks, no icons on the Desktop. Is this the future of KDE or am I doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 You may just be the latest victim of KDE4. I've not tried it, but it seems the “desktop†doesn't quite exist anymore in KDE4. Instead, there are special-window-like-plasmas (or something like that) placed of the background, that show you views on selected files, and one of which you may want to call your desktop. That's what I understand from reading the web… Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 As Yves said, if you have KDE4, you no longer have the "desktop". If you have KDE4, right click somewhere on the screen and then click on "add widget". In that list, you will find "folder view". With that, you can add a "Desktop". It will be a transparent box.
