Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace
I'm using Kubuntu intrepid beta, recently updated.
I want to put an application (icon) from the application launcher
"Applications" tab to the "Favorites" or to the Desktop - either via
Drag&Drop or via the context menu. In many cases, the entries in the
"Favorites" do work, but the icons are missing (the spiked wheel is
shown instead). In other cases, they seem to work (e.g. Konsole, System
Monitor, ...). Even worse, when I put the applications on the desktop,
the icon is missing (spiked wheel again), and it is inoperative. When I
click it, a Kate session opens.
The problem seems to affect only applications that have their desktop
files in the directory /usr/share/applications (like Firefox,
Thunderbird, etc.), while apps that have a desktop file in
/usr/share/applications/kde4 or /usr/share/applications/kde work fine.
I have watched
.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc
and it seems, that the url given for the desktop files is broken. While for the
working icons, the Url is
Url=file:///usr/share/applications/kde4/ksysguard.desktop
for the inoperative icons it is
Url=firefox.desktop
When I kill plasma, manually fix the entry in plasma-appletsrc, and
restart plasma, the icons work.
