    Kde 4.6

    Why in the world does my files and folders in my home directory keep disappearing until I hit F5 to refresh the folder, only does it in KDE 4.6, KDE 4.5 it doesn't do this crap, what gives? There is no bug reports, checked on bugs.kde.org/ Nothing was reported, unless I may have missed something?

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    KDE 4.x - major step backward from KDE 3.5.4 (last 3.5 version). Sorry, but this doesn't answer your question, just me ranting! I quit using KDE when I migrated to RHEL6 (SL6 actually), because it is so sucky! I'm running gnome now, but also a bunch of KDE applications. It still is not as good as KDE 3.5.x on CentOS 5 in my opinion. That was fast, kept out of my way, and provided the features and behaviors that I wanted. Keep the eye-candy. I just want a UI that lets me get my work done without a lot of pain and suffering!
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
    Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

    Yeah, I'd use Gnome too, but honestly, I don't care for GTK's Look and Feel, which is why I keep switching back to KDE, I like the way KDE looks..

    Check Dolphin settings and make sure you didn't change anything obvious. It's about the only thing I can think of.

    Hah, nah, it's KDE 4.6, it's done the same thing in Arch and Kubuntu. I figured maybe Arch was having an issue, sure enough, it's KDE 4.6.

    I've not noticed it on Gentoo but there are other irritants that I deal with in KDE-6.1-r1
    When I click on the "Home Folder" K>Computer>Home...it's blank!

    There's a KDE 6.1?? I thought 4.6 just came out? LOL. But yeah, if that's a typo, you're right, I have that same problem. You press F5 and it all appears again.
