This is another 7.1 quirk that I have not figured out.
On one machine we installed 7.1 on, right-clicking on
the desktop brings up the entire list of new .kdelnk entries
that appear in ~/.kde/Templates (as it is supposed to do),
but root only gets the Folder option (even though all the
.kdelnk files are in /root/.kde/Templates.
On another machine, only Folder shows up for all users!
Why are the .kdelnk options not being shown for root and
sometimes for other users?? Just one of several examples
of 7.1 breaking KDE.
It does appear that you can always get the entire list from
within KFM--either by doing File|New|... or right-clicking.
So, you can go to ~/Desktop and create them that way, or you
can go to ~/.kde/Templates and drag-copy-rename the .kdelnk
files onto your desktop.
Sure would like to know what MDK did to break this, and if
there is some reason!
