Hi
Has anyone experienced the following.
Whenever I use konqueror and copy a file over to the desktop or delete. The desktop itself doesn't reflect those changes until I create and delete a new file.
For example. In konqueror, I copy a file, minimize to see the desktop, the file isn't there. I then right click, create new text file, the previous file appears. Or if I've deleted a desktop file using konq, I have to repeat the steps in order for the file "ghosts" to disappear.
Anyone?

I normally don't use the desktop as a folder for files but have you tried to refresh the desktop (right mouse button menu; Refresh Desktop)?

Aye, that I have. Doesn't work. I've been net searching the symptoms. If I'm correct it's also happened in kde4. No answer as to why or how to fix it but I have some ideas.
Thanks

I should have tested it before answering / guessing. I don't see the problem. When I copy from Konqueror to Desktop the file shows immediately, when I delete with the context menu (right click on the file) the file disappears immediately.
I'm on TDE Release R14.0.2 on Mint (Debian). But I cannot remember to have seen the described problem on an older version though. Maybe differences in settings anywhere?!

14.0.0 on openSuSE here. Problem does not show either.

Some oldish version of Ubuntu and Trinity 14.0.2. Adding and removing files causes the desktop to instantly 'refresh'. All the icons disappear and then immediately reappear with or without the new/deleted icon.
Is there a special service that checks the Desktop dir?

That's the behavior I'm accustomed to, but that isn't happening. I guess there would have to be some kind of service, but can't seem to find reference to one.

Hi Kate, just for the sake of test, have you tried creating a new account and see if the problem happens also with a new profile? Cheers Michele
Ok booted up the machines this morning and POOF, normal desktop refresh functions. I guess something I installed really required a reboot or xserver restart. Not accustomed to have to reboot.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Kate
The problem returned after a while of use. Trying to retrace me steps. The only think I can think of is that I plugged in usb stick around the time it began again. Going to reboot and see if I can deliberately recreate me steps.

Ttry to look into .xsession-errors, if there is some related problem reported.
