Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 176095
switching between KDE and Gnome creates confused desktops
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:19 EST
Description of problem: Use Gnome. Add battery status (this is a laptop in the end!) to panel. Use KDE for the next login. Add battery status to panel. Use Gnome again in the next session. Suddenly there are 2 battery status displays on the panel and a second trash can (this one apparently with deleted files although I am sure I did not delete anything) appears on the Desktop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use Gnome 2. Use KDE 3. Use Gnome Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
Adding componenets to the KDE panel no longer seems to confuse the Gnome panel (I didn't test with the battery status as in the original message as this appears now automatically for my laptop in FC6). But Gnome still shows a second Trash can after a switch to KDE. I assume this is because KDE creates a ~/Desktop/trash.desktop file - which contains as the last line OnlyShowIn=KDE

The information we've requested above is required in order to review this problem report further and diagnose/fix the issue if it is still present. Since there haven't been any updates to the report in quite a long time now after we've requested additional information, we're assuming the problem is either no longer present in our current OS release, or that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem. Setting status to CANTFIX, however if you still experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora Core release and are still interested in Red Hat tracking the issue, and assisting in troubleshooting the problem, please feel free to provide the information requested above, and reopen the report. Thank you in advance. (this message is mass message)
