Hi, This the default behaviour and no harm at all. It was documented in the manpage as
"On KDE your icons will be snowed away magnificently, although that is not harmful for your icons really. Simply wipe with a small window where you thought your trash was, and see it appear." Cai Qian From: Bob Billson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Bug#342462: xsnow: snow overwrites icons on KDE 3.4 root window Date: Wed, 07 Dec 2005 13:22:09 -0500 > Package: xsnow > Version: 1:1.42-2 > Severity: important > > Hi Cai - > > I reported this bug a while ago against a package version prior to 1.42-4, > I believe. I can't find my bug report on bugs.debian.org. The 1.42-4 > version worked correctly with KDE at the time. > > This changed with version 1:1.41-2 when the previous maintainer had to > back out the root window code due to a licensing problem. (See > changelog.Debian entry for Mon, 24 May 2004 12:24:55 -0700.) > > When you took over as maintainer from Randall, you sent email closing > the bug report because a new upstream release was out. I tried the new > package out of testing. I'm sorry to report the bug still exists. > > Under KDE 3.4, xsnow still overwrites all the icons on the desktop until > they are no longer visible. I can still click on the place they used to be > and run a program. Refreshing the desktop brings them back temporarily. > > I'll be happy to test any patches you are able to come up. > > bob > > -- System Information: > Debian Release: testing > APT prefers testing > APT policy: (500, 'testing') > Architecture: i386 (i686) > Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash > Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-rc4 > Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) > > Versions of packages xsnow depends on: > ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries > an > ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-10 X Window System protocol client > li > ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-10 X Window System miscellaneous > exte > ii libxpm4 6.8.2.dfsg.1-10 X pixmap library > ii psmisc 21.8-1 Utilities that use the proc > filesy > ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-10 X Window System client libraries > m > > xsnow recommends no packages. > > -- no debconf information > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
