I am new to Mandrake but an "old hand" with Redhat and KDE so I hope I qualify for the expert list :-). I recently bought a system from IndyBox with Mandrake 6.0 preinstalled. As soon as I had the network up I set up an account for my wife to use and changed a few setting on her desktop for her. Everything is working fine except for one frustrating behavior. I removed most of the icons from the desktop on my wife's account and added a few pointing to her favorite games and such. The problem is that every time she logs in, all of the deleted icons are back! When I delete the unwanted icons I can check the Desktop directory and see that they are really deleted. I can check after logging out and the kdelnk files are still deleted. When I log back in, they are back! Judging from the timestamps on the kdelnk files, my best guess is something is recreating the icons on each login but I cannot find a script or process anywhere that is doing it. Thinking it might have been something in the way linuxconf created her account, I deleted the account and recreated it using the adduser script. I logged in, made the changes to her desktop, verified the files really were deleted, and logged out. When I logged back in, the deleted icons were back again. This doesn't happen to my account. We both log in as ordinary users. Any ideas? -- Stephen Carville -- Good News! NT is now approaching 23x6 availability!
