If I download/copy a file to the ‘Desktop’ it doesn’t become visible even if I right click and refresh desktop.
But if I open the ‘Desktop’ folder in konqueror the files are there and if I logout/in the files turn up on my desktop…
Never recall that when I was using kde3, but then I never had icons on the Desktop really and downloads went to a desktop folder ‘Downloads’.
Not sure what your problem is.
I have kde3 installed, so I’ll switch over and check now.
