[Bug 254688] Re: kubuntu kde4 intrepid kickoff menu, items added to favorites dont keep correct icon, generic gear shown

[Salva Ferrer]

Hi all,

after reading Olaf description I tried the following:

1.- create a new directory in /usr/share/applications/ the name is not important I called mine 'others'. You need to be root for this: 'sudo mkdir /usr/share/applications/<dirname>'
2.- move all .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/ to this new directory: 'sudo mv /usr/share/applications/*.desktop /usr/share/applications/<dirname>'
3.- restart kde

After logging in the problem has dissapeared for me. I can add firefox
to the favourites and the panel.

I don't know if this workaround has any side effects, so maybe somebody
with more knowledge than me in Kubuntu file system can tell.
