That's intentional. They have to be a 1:1copy (otherwise my comparator 
won't work and we might run into an endless synchronization ping pong). 
According to the xbel spec it's perfectly ok to have such private 
metadata (that's the whole point of the owner= attribute):

"Within an info element,
          each metadata element is required
          to have a unique value for the owner attribute. Programs which 
modify
          the contents of metadata elements
          should ensure that only one metadata exists for any owner 
value normally modified by the
          application within affected info
          elements. metadata elements for
          other owners should remain unaffected."


But of course only the custom items (not isSystemItem=true) should be 
synchronized (no home, /, remote:, trash: should appear in the 
shortcuts.xbel).

Could be. I got some migration code for the icons, but who knows. Here 
it works, but of course i have deleted the bookmark files, so 
KFilePlacesModel re-created the default places.

Thanks for testing,
