Hello, everyone :-)
I think I may have hit a bug. It seems unlikely since it is a very conspicuous one, but perhaps I'm the only one using the desktop in exactly my way.
It has two manifestations, one the exact opposite of the other.
The two machines in question are: one running TDE 3.5.2 on Wheezy, recently upgraded from Squeeze; the other a fresh installation of both TDE 3.5.2 and Wheezy.
Now, what happens:
Configure desktop -> Behaviour -> General -> Show icons on desktop: checked. Configure desktop -> Behaviour -> Device Icons -> Show device icons: checked.
If I uncheck the boxes, then click apply, the display briefly disappears, the status quo ante is not changed, and the checks both reappear.
Now, where the two computers differ.
On the one that has recently been upgraded there are no desktop icons whatever I do, and on the fresh install I cannot get rid of the icons.
Help!! Can anyone solve it? Or should I file a bug?

Can you please verify permissions on the contents of the ~/.trinity/share/config folder and all files therein? Usually when a setting won't "stick" there is a permissions problem on the configuration file containing that setting.
Thanks!

Since I don't know what the permissions ought to be on what, I have sent you the ls -l from both computers off-list.

I have observed a similar behavior with my TDE desktops. I worked around the problem by setting the icons for the desktop from the control center instead of from the "configure desktop" by right-clicking at the desktop. There seems to be a disconnect between the desktop and the control center in this regard.

OK, thanks for the info. Can one of you please file a bug report on this?
Thanks!

Thanks, James! I don't think that I would have thought of that. Lisi
