What is the label on the icon? I've been getting something similar recently... I do a SuSEconfig and a unuseable Network icon shows up on the desktop. If I try to delete it as $USER it tells me that it doesn't exist. I can remove it, but only as root, and I must go to /etc/opt/kde3/share/apps/kdesktop/Desktop/ and delete the item called Network.desktop Then the unuseable icon disappears, but also my regular Network icon is removed. No solutions, but I'm wondering if this is what you are experiencing too... C.

C. Yup... that's it. I hadn't looked that deeply in the directory hierarchy but you are otherwise confirming exactly what I have going on, here.

Hi Clayton, I've also experienced this but it seems to happen when I hit certain websites with Konq. I have not experienced it when using SuSEConfig. I am not connected to an internal LAN, but use KPPP to connect to the internet using dial-up.

What do you see when you open the home icon and click Desktop? what is the extra item there? What are its properties? CWSIV On Sun, 2004-04-04 at 15:07, Jesse L. Purdom wrote:

Hi Carl, Unfortunately, I do not remember at this time whether or not I see the icon when I view Desktop in Konq File Manager, nor what its properties were. It has been a while since I experienced this. If, and when, it occurs again I'll gather more information and post about it then. Thank you!
