I think to find a bug in idesk (the informations of the packages are below). The problem is that when I move an incon on the desktop, all icons disappear. bye

Please, you send me your .ideskrc file and I would like all your .idesktop directory (just the icons files not the images).

I used strace to determine why the C++ stream error was taking place. I found that some access to the CVS subdirectory of this archive, "http://fixxxer.cc/idesk/icons.tar.bz2" as found on the iDesk wiki. Unpack this archive in ~/.idesktop and the problem should be reproduced. Due to the number of icons files, it was quit difficult to figure out why the problem was happening without strace. A minimum patch should probably catch the exception and throw the file name to help people. Ignoring the CVS directory (none png and lnk files?) might be a good idea.
I had intended to submit this as a new bug. Apparently, whatever I did with "reportbug" had made my submission a follow up to 370126. However, I have a completely different problem that I meant to have titled "CVS sub-directories cause idesk to abort with a C++ streams error". This is a completely different issue. Do you want me to submit another submission, or can you split this? Sorry for my incompetence. Regards, Bill Pringlemeir.
Although the bug report is very old I thought I add my report to this because the problem is very similar. I tried to protect the settings against accidental change by removing the write rights for the link files(~/.idesktop$chmod a-w *). This caused idesk to crash when the icons were dragged. Of course the changed position cannot be written to the link file but I think that this should not lead to a crash. The error output was: "Cannot load file: /home/<name>/.idesktop/iceaweasel.lnk!! Exiting." Technical information: Debian Lenny stable $ idesk -v Idesk 0.7.5 $ fluxbox -v Fluxbox 1.0.0 : (c) 2001-2007 Fluxbox Team $ uname -a Linux <name> 2.6.26-2-486 #1 Thu Mar 26 00:13:41 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
I am trying to reproduce this (or work towards it) but quite frankly I am finding a more general problem. It occasionally dies and all the icons disappear. I assume it is the same problem although the description is not exactly the same.
