Bug description:
# Impact
KDE software loses 'places' bookmarks when using KDE frameworks 5 and
KDELibs4 software at the same time. In particular the default file manager
Dolphin will have one of its by-default-visible features rendered useless by
this and actively lose data the user created.
## Affects
- kde4libs: which has a sync code that attempts to sync the XDG places file
with the legacy KDE file.
- kio (kf5): as it has the same syncing code as kde4libs.
- kde-baseapps (specifically dolphin): as it is using the legacy KDE file
while the rest of a plasma5 desktop would use the XDG places file.
- kdenlive: has hardcoded file lookup for the old file to automatically
inject its projects folder into the places list (not terribly important feature
and actually has provisioning for the file not being found).
# Test Case
1. Open Dolphin.
2. Select the folder you want in the Places shortcut on the left panel.
3. Drag and Drop the folder on the left panel in the "Places" section.
4. Restart the system.
## Kdenlive
Kdenlive has a bit of a different use case it injects itself into the list of
places
- create new user
- start kdenlive and go through wizard
- file -> open
- places sidebar should contain an entry for kdenlive projects.
# Regression Potential
Somewhat potentially high unfortunately. The way this had to be resolved was
by removing a piece of compatibility tech from kdelibs(4) that would attempt to
sync the XDG places bookmarks with the kdelibs<=4 preferred kde-specific places
file and instead always use the XDG file. This effectively means that the old
places file will not get updated anymore. Applications that had its path
hardcoded would use the wrong file and no longer show the same places list as
the rest of the system. It is hard to assess whether we have any such
application in the archive, but it is a risk worth taking considering we
currently lose user data in one of the most obvious places.

---- original report ----
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Dolphin.
2. Select the folder you want in the Places shortcut on the left panel.
3. Drag and Drop the folder on the left panel in the "Places" section.
4. Restart the system.
What Happens:
Dolphin is set back to default places.
What is expected:
Dolphin displays the customize places shortcuts.
I tried askubuntu, but they deleted my question as off-topic because
Kubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet with Plasma 5 haven't been released.
Aditional info is that this is not an upgrade, but a fresh install.
