Re: [opensuse] Menu Config file location

Recently I posted a question about the location of the files KDE uses to keep the information about the KMENU icon in the lower left corner (on most systems). Only the Applications subpanel are directly editable with the menu editor and indirectly the Favorites. The 'Computer' subpanel contains several icons, one of which is the "remote:/" icon. On my system, when I press this, I get a 'Malformed URL' error message. From the 'My Computer' icon with the navigation panel on, if I select the Network icon, same deal. HOWEVER, if I open up Konqueror and manually type in 'remote:/' I get a list including icons for previously defined 'fish' sesssions produced by the wizard.

I have other users on my system WITHOUT this problem so I (as root) copied their desktop config file to my desktop (renamed) but that function still failed.

Related is my TRASHCAN. I cannot open it. I can drag files to it and they are properly 'deleted' but I cannot empty the trashcan nor open it to recover deleted files. I know the drag and delete works because using MC the files are in the proper places in .local in my /home account and if I manually remove the contents in both places (the files and the index to them), the desktop icon changes to indicate empty. I just get the malformed url error anytime I try to open or manipulate the icon by clicking on it OTHER THAN by dropping files to be deleted on it which still works. Again, copying a trashcan from another user only creates another trashcan, neither of which work...and the original cannot itself be deleted.

Please, I am sure this is a grunged configuration problem IF I can find it. I do not think the Microsoft solution of reinstallation is viable with Linux. Please don't suggest it, my mentality is too far removed from Windows to take that seriously at this point. :) As the problem is local to a single user, I believe the problem to be local to /home/.<user>/.

How does one edit a desktop icon like trash.desktop?
