I just installed 9.3 on my computer. It was new installation but without /home partition formating (the previous system was 9.2 fully kernel and KDE updated) I updated my new installation via yast and installed a number of packages... I can not recall when, but sometime during this update/install process, my desktop icons started to behave strangely: "trash", "my computer" and "network browsing" don't work anymore. They just display "Malformed URL" error messages, with the respective url named in the message ("trash:/", "media:/" or "remote:/")... When I enter any of the urls in konqueror url field they work... I compared the properties of all three icons with another computer (clean 9.3 install) and they appear identical. I created a new dummy user - the desktop icons work perfectly there! I checked file associations in control center - they seem to be correct, compared with the same on another comp. What can I do? I think of either deleting some (hidden) files/folders on my comp, or copying them from another user or computer, but I don't know what files or what folders... This is not a major problem - it is just an annoyance, but I am really curious to learn how this stuff works. Where is this particular bit of difference stored on my system, can it be repaired and how? TIA & best regards, cikasole
