I am looking into this one, which fortunately I am still
able to replicate
on the older machine I mentioned earlier. Something
is messed up with the
XDG desktop paths; on my system "kde-config --userpath
desktop" returns
"/".
Confirmed here.
On my virtual machine running Trinity I get "/" for both root and normal user.
On my 3.5.10 machine I get the correct location for the Desktop directory for both root
and normal user.
That probably confirms why the original desktop icons are missing.
That bug probably exlains why a new .directory files is being created in the root level of
the files system when I run as root, and why I receive the error message trying to create
that same file when running as normal user.
