Hello Bill.
I haven't the solution but had the same issue with KDE
4.1 desktop on Ubuntu AMD64 8.04.1.  All the files are
in my $HOME/Desktop folder, every last one of them but
can't figure how to restore them on the GUI.  Have
also posted the issue but no response. Tried just
copying the files to Desktop but you can't copy files
to same files. My issue happened after a non-lightning
related power failure. I can log in to kde reg desktop
and the files/folders are still on the GUI desktop
just not in KDE 4.1
There should be be a simple solution to this, IMO, but
haven't found it.  Maybe some kde users like Derek can
offer some help to us, hopefully.
