TLDR: Plasma (5.14.4 under Fedora 35) is not showing my
/home/username/Desktop/*.desktop files on the desktop.
Details:
I recently upgraded two computers at my household to Fedora 35 (f35):
mine and my wife’s. My machine was previously running mate DE; my wife’s
machine was previously running Plasma DE.
My wife’s machine upgraded just fine. Desktop files in
/home/username/Desktop are being displayed just as under f34.
My machine did not upgrade fine. When I right-click and switch to
Desktop view, the desktop is blank, even though I have a couple of
.desktop files in /home/uername/Desktop.
I’ve checked the .desktop file permissions as well as the Desktop folder
permissions and my /home/username folder permissions and they are just
like my wife’s files/folders.
It may also be noteworthy that I am getting this message in
/var/log/messages:

Please help if you can.
