I performed your steps and it worked.  I then tried the same steps I did which
differs from putting the folder in user home dir, and using the mouse middle
button to drag a link to the desktop.  It crashed with a dialogue when trying
to delete and then it caused a kde restart with a kdeinit error or some term
like that, also it included an error report request, to which I did.  Then I
tried the steps again and it works!  I must have had a corrupt config table or
something.

Strange issue.  I hope it doesn't happen again as I originally lost a directory
of content.

Cheers and thanks for your time in looking at the issue!
