Just upgraded KDE from 4.7 to 4.8 and all of the icons on my desktop went missing. Is there a way to restore what I had short of recreating them manually?
My guess is that they are still there, but 4.8 has started showing a different Activity than the one that has icons on the desktop. Can you pop open the activities switcher and see if your original activity is there and shows your icons again when activated? If not, I'd like to (privately) look at your post-upgrade ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc (please scan for private data first). And please indicate if your icons were 1) inside a Folder View widget on the desktop 2) individual Icons on the desktop or 3) Part of a Folder View layout as the entire desktop
And why the F$%& can't the KDE dev's figure out a way to migrate settings from one version to the next. Absolute childish bull-shit as far as I am concerned.
I understand that you are frustrated now, but let's find out if the icons are really gone or just hidden in an inactive Activity. If they are, that's still annoying and we'll fix it switching to a new Activity with the stimulus of your report.
