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'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?!

I guess there would have to be some kind of service, but can't seem to find

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?

New subject: Desktop seems to be refreshing normally now.
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.

New subject: Desktop Not Refreshing Problem Continues.
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.
