18 I have noticed something else odd as well. I use folder layout, like
19 KDE3 had, for my KDE desktop setup. When I login to KDE, I have to
20 switch to some other layout then switch back to folder to get my icons
21 to show up. Once in a blue moon, it works as it should but most of the
22 time, I have to go through this to get it to look like I have it set to
23 look.

25 It's a different issue but could have a common cause. It seems some
26 setting/config doesn't get stored properly. Then when we login, we have
27 to undo/redo to get it to work.

29 I have been putting up with my issue for about a year or so. I haven't
30 done any research as to bug reports etc because I'm not real sure what
31 to look for.

33 Could be totally different, could be related. Just thought it worth
34 adding to the pot. ;-)
