Just a silly question, have you tried playing around with setfacl on the desktop link in your home folder to give your account write access to the file? I do that with my Thunderbird and firefox installations where I have them installed in /opt which is owned by root, so I run setfacl across both of the sub-folders to ensure that configuration changes I do in both actually get retained. I know I could install them in folders I do have access to, I just haven't chosen to do that. Just another silly question, are you running KDE under Wayland or Xorg? I'm asking because experience tells me that Wayland seems to pick and choose what properties exposed by a desktop file on the desktop it is actually going to honour, even when the desktop file is created manually by right clicking on the desktop and selecting "New", which seems to be different to what is does for apps pinned to the task bar where it seems to honour options that it doesn't honour from the file on the desktop. I have this issue with my firefox and Thunderbird icons on the desktop both of which were created in F40 under Xorg. I had to do a lot of playing around with the "launch feedback" setting in the firefox icon to get Wayland to honour the setting, but I've been unable to get Wayland to honour the same setting in the Thunderbird icon.On 2024-11-20 22:24, Tim wrote:Once more: A *copy* creates a desktop file in your space that you own, and you can modify. The original desktop launcher file (elsewhere on the system) will not be changed, and will be ignored. A *link* points to a file somewhere else on the system, and if that somewhere else isn't owned by you (it won't be, in this case), you can't modify it.Thank you all.
