How do you fix them though, i just had a look at what we do in the
Applications script and we just delete all files named desktop_*
Which i guess up to now is good enough but i would sayi it's impossible for
Plasma to ever come up with a name for a catalog named "desktop_controller" or
something.
If we increase those catch all we'll eventually end up hitting one that
matches and have a hard time figuring out why it broke.
Maybe one of the ways to fix this is "fordidding" non autogenerated names to
have an underscore?
