[Bug 294638] Re: KDE4: Changing non important Properties of a Starter-Icon (in panel or on desktop) destroys Icon and changes its place in KMenue to the "lost n found" subfolder

[Jonathan Thomas]

The main problem here is that Plasma is linking to the actual .desktop file instead of making a copy.
However, the only way that this would be editable is if you were running KDE as root.This is dangerous for many reasons, including the dataloss you received due to this bug. If you weren't running KDE as root you would have gotten a message saying that you do not have permission to make the changed Plasma was erroneously trying to make.
