Absolutely. Like I said in my post, items which never appear on the desktop do
not ever need an entry in this file, and those are the ones that are causing
the greatest part of the problem, after all, there are only so many items one
can actually fit on the desktop, so hitting an amount sufficient to crash
plasma would be very difficult if not for the fact that it's getting
subfolders.

> remember, people's computers are crashing

Again I agree strongly with this. I've just made a comment on a case (384782,
about being able to re-order taskbar items) where  discussing *how* to do it
has been going on for 6 years and nobody has done anything to make it *actually
happen*. Time is of the essence here, let's not over-plan and under-do.

It would be a good start to a solution, and decrease the amount of crashes
experienced by more than any other part of it, for sure. But as I also
mentioned in my post, the positions entry is not handling removing entries
correctly. The entries that caused my crash were for files that no longer even
existed.
