Hi,

I have KDE 4 installed as well and I think this is causing the problem
but hope there is a fix for this little boo boo.  I have links to
locations on my desktop so that I can click on them to get to places
directly.  I have one for camera pics, another for movies and a few
others.  I upgraded KDE 4 the other day and logged into it for a little
while.  I'm now back in KDE 3.5 and my desktop links no longer work. 
When I click on them, it tries to open them with Dolphin and even asks
for a password.  The permissions are correct.  Owner is dale and group
is users.  I should also add that if I type in the password, user or
root, it does nothing at all.  It just sits there. 

I thought I could just delete the old links and recreate them and get
that to work.  It didn't.  It does the same thing.  It tries to open
them with Dolphin and asks for the password.  Oh, did I mention I
deleted my Documents folder by mistake?  I thought it was a link but it
wasn't.  Backups are so sweet.  ;-)

Anybody know how to fix this?  I checked the file associations options
but it looks weird.  No clue what was there before KDE 4 came along. 
Could someone tell me what is in theirs if your still works?  Maybe that
would fix it.

Thanks.

Dale

:-)  :-)
