Hi!

I have a Desktop folder in a partition (/Foo/home/user/Desktop) with a
trash can and a home folder (trash.desktop and Home.desktop).
All the Desktop, trash and home folders icons are correctly displayed in
dolphin.

Then I use dolphin to copy /Foo/home/user/Desktop into /home/user.
/home/user/Desktop icon is now a normal folder. Not the desktop one.
Inside /home/user/Desktop both thrash can and home folder have the gear
icon!

Any idea about what can be causing this?

It may be worth checking the contents of the files trash.desktop and Home.desktop. They may have relative paths in them or maybe a path tying them to the original directory.

OK, may be I have found the cause ...

It seems related to the fact that I have /home mounted on a zfs-fuse
partition.
Mounting it on a reiserfs (same content) immediately showed the correct
icons!

Still don't understand but at least I know the remote cause :-)

Thanks to all who responded.

Seems to be a bug ...
