Tips & tricks with TLDC

Unwanted icons on the desktop with KDE

At first login for each user, KDE copies files from /usr/share/kio_desktop/DesktopLinks to the Desktop directory of the user. This means that if there is a Home Icon in DesktopLinks and you add a Home Icon via TLDC, there will be two of them placed on the desktop.

Remove the contents of /usr/share/kio_desktop/DesktopLinks to solve the problem, and let TLDC be the sole provider of icons on the desktop.
