<pre wrap="">On my wife's KDE3.1 Debian Lenny system, she has lost the home, trash,

She is keen to have those icons restored (I don't know when they
disappeared, only when she told me that it was bugging her), but having
gone through the available menus, I can't see any option that enables me
to reset this for her.
Can anyone help me help her?

We have had the same problem here ( my wife's PC ! ) some days ago. Try first
starting kde not as user but as root. The icons should be there. The problem
here resulted to be, as Irina said, a link problem. Involved qt !
Try first Anne's instructions. Then start kde as root, and then we shall see !
good luck

Just to be clear - the suggestion is to log out of KDE and log back in
as root? If the icons (yes, Irina you are right in what I meant) are
there then it is a linking problem? If so, then I need to follow
Anne's suggestion and rename them via the properties option from a
right-click context menu?<br>
<br>
Thanks for the ideas: I'll report back on the outcomes.<br>
