Re: [expert] Desktop device icons, folders, etc, don't work
Hmpf...I tried altering my various devices to match, as appropriate, the entries you provide but it doesn't work. All I get is an .xsession-errors file loaded with "Syntax Error: Unknown command '/mnt/zip'". The command that is being attempted when selecting a user-created device or file or directory (via the desktop menu "Create New" item) is incorrect, so it seems. I tried deleting everything having to do with KDE in my home directory and restarting KDE as if for the first time. Didn't help. I ended up having to reproduce, at least, a working Home icon by dragging and copying the home icon from the kpanel. I copied the printer from root and changed the ownership to me and it works too...it is the only entry that I haven't tried recreating via the "Create New" menu item. Trash still doesn't work. I have a desktop containing lovely device icons too, none of which function.

[expert] Desktop device icons, folders, etc, don't work
As a user, if you are running KDE 2.1 and try to create a new device or folder on your desktop, it appears not to work. You can create the icon just fine but it wont work when you select it. Could someone please use an editor and view the device kdelnk in their Desktop directory (preferably from KDE 2.0, 2.0.1 or 2.1) and post the contents? Specifically, if you have a functional floppy, zip, or harddrive device icon on your desktop, please post the text contained in the kdelnk for in it Desktop/. For my non-functional Zip Drive kdelnk, for instance, it reads: [Desktop Entry] Dev=/mnt/zip FSType=supermount Icon=3floppy_mount MountPoint=/mnt/zip Type=FSDevice UnmountIcon=3floppy_unmount I believe there MUST be some entries missing and no matter what one does with "Open With" and/or "Remember application association for this file", proper corresponding entries are not made to the kdelnk file. If I could see one that actually works, perhaps I could manually add the requisite entries to my desktop devices and get them to work.
