--- Comment #3 from Eike Hein <h...@kde.org> ---
Sorry, I need some more information just to make absolutely sure.

There's two ways to change the folder that Folder View shows when used as the
desktop contaiment:

1) System Settings -> Applications -> Desktop path
2) "Configure Desktop" -> Location

I think you used '2', right? Just to make sure (because the way directory
updates happen differs between them).

And then you copy a file to the folder you configured, and it doesn't show up.

The most frequent reason this happens is: The system is using inotify to
monitor folders for changes, but something else on the system is using inotify
a lot, and hitting the system limit of too many inotify watches.

You could find some debug hints here:
