How many "activities" do I now have? > I had something weird like this about ever since KDE4 was brought in that finally got fixed. I use the "Folder" layout on mine. Just about every time I would login, no folders. Sometimes I could logout and back in and they would show up. Usually I had to right click, select the edit menu and change something and hit apply for them to show back up.=20 This had been going on for a really long time. Then a few months ago, I noticed they started working again. I don't recall doing anything that made it do it but a good while back I did rename the .kde4 directory and get a fresh start.=20 Point is, sometimes KDE does something weird and eventually they get around to fixing it. It sure is annoying until they get it fixed tho.=20 Have you checked to see if there is a bug reported on the KDE bug tracker? If you can't figure it out and sure it is not a setting of your own, may want to file one. Given that you tried a fresh .kde4 directory, I don't see how it could be something you did.=20 Dale :-) :-)=20
