A link to a folder, on the desktop.  Yes, using Dolphin as file browser, but
does that have any play on the desktop icons/files/links when deleting.

Scenario : I create a link to a folder on the desktop on KDE4.  It's a symbolic
link.  Now I get an error if I try to delete the link created, but I can
right-mouse-menu and choose 'Move to Trash'.  If I move the link to the trash
then it will delete the entire contents of the link-to folder, but the trash
only contains the symbolic link.  there doesn't seem to be any way to recover
the files lost out of the true folder.
