--- Comment #5 from pf...@accessd.net --- Hi. I did what you suggested - but it did not change :-( I noted the following: After resting the plasma-plasmashell.service, the section is obviously "Empty at 1st" and then gets populated with a number of entries! When I checked, there where ONLY 18 Icons visible on the desktop! Funny enough the [ScreenMapping] section listed 24 entries! 6 of them NOT visible! I deleted the [ScreenMapping] section again and rebooted - NO luck - still the same :-) I could force desktop freeze, by click& hold any empty desktop area (like when trying to create a selection window) Then, I deleted the file plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc rebooted and guess what? The desktop appeared with all 24 Icons!! ...and the message: "There are a lot of files and folders on the desktop. is also gone :-) I can now click anywhere on the desktop without freezes :-) So for now that seems to be fixed for me. Thanks for helping Cheers Jurgen -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
