Update:
Today I faced the problem again. Unfortunately I did not look into the .xsession-errors
file before I started to relaunch kdesktop. Nevertheless it did not crash. First action: I
started kdesktop from Konsole. It told me that kdesktop is already running but didn't
come back to the prompt. Icons were not recreated. I had to Ctrl-C for the promt. "ps
ax" showed me an old version of kdesktop and a second new one with <defunct>
message. Killing the defunct one was not possible. I killed the original kdesktop program
(Desktop went black) and relaunched it and - voila - the icons reapeared on the desktop.
Also the defunct process of kdesktop was gone.
I do not find anything special in the xsession errors file. I try to investigate more
accurate next time.

Hi !
I'm running trinity desktop on Debian Testing linux.
Sometimes all the icons from desktop disappear and (at the same time!)
the desktop lock button (blue lock symbol in the kicker panel) stops
to work.
What service/program to I have to restart in order to fix it without
logging out and in again?
Cheers

Disappearing icons from the desktop shows to crash KDesktop. Starting kdesktop
should correct the problem.
At this situation please take a look into ~/.xsession-error, if there is
listed a backtrace about KDesktop crash? It could help to detect and fix the
problem.
