Fritz, the reason you see quick fixes is because LXQt is actively being developed, unlike LXDE, which hasn't been in a long, long time. There's a reason why every new release of Lubuntu was essentially a maintenance release.
Anyways, it sounds like the consensus is that though this has a relatively small impact, it's ugly and offensive enough that we should do a SRU. That means that we should see it in Disco relatively soon. Part of that process will involve some editing of this bug report. Then when the fix is uploaded, it will go to "Fix Committed." Finally, when the package with the fix is available in the repositories, it will go to "Fix Released." At this point, running an update on libfm-qt and pcmanfm-qt (since it's built based on libfm-qt) will resolve the issue. Until then, you cannot really do anything with the file since it doesn't exist. The work around is in the description: 1. Open pcmanfm-qt 2. Go to the Desktop folder 3. Refresh the folder (F5) Now the errant file will not return, no matter whether or not you check shortcuts on or off. It will return when you log in again, though. One other thing: the issue here is a timing issue, and it will be made worse with less resources. That means that sometimes you might have the issue and sometimes you might not. It's bizarre. Kudos to the upstream developers for finding it so quickly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1825587 Title: non-existent temporary desktop file appears on desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxqt/+bug/1825587/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
